Choosing the Right Plastic Compactor: A Guide for Businesses

Selecting the appropriate plastic compactor is essential for businesses aiming to enhance waste management efficiency and reduce operational costs. Key considerations include:

Waste Volume and Type: Assess the quantity and specific types of plastic waste your business generates to determine the compactor's required capacity and compatibility.
Available Space: Evaluate your facility's layout to choose a compactor that fits seamlessly without disrupting operations.
Operational Efficiency: Opt for compactors with features like automatic operation to minimize labor costs and ensure continuous processing.
Budget and Financial Options: Consider whether purchasing or renting aligns better with your financial strategy. Rental options offer flexibility, especially for short-term needs or trial periods.

By carefully evaluating these factors, businesses can select a plastic compactor that effectively meets their waste management requirements and operational goals.

    Save Money With Plastic Balers for Crushing Waste

    In comparison to other types of plastic waste disposal, creating plastic bales has a number of advantages:

    • Volume reduction - compressed plastic takes up far less room than plastic scraps that take up extra space such as PET bottles, freeing up valuable storage space and making them the ideal option for retail stores, warehouses and other businesses with limited floor space.
    • Rigid plastic bales can be stored one on top of the other, making use of vertical space. In a similar way, horizontal balers and vertical balers are both available for ease of use and space management.
    • Bale weight - compact bales are more stable and dense than lots of smaller pieces, meaning that they are safer to transport. They can also easily be wrapped in plastic film for further safety.
    • Waste costs - For companies that pay according to the volume of waste which is removed, plastic bales are an economical form for plastic waste. They are also one of the easiest ways for recycling companies to sort, split and manage recyclable materials, which is beneficial when it comes to the environmental impact of your waste strategy
    • A plastic baler does most of the hard work automatically, minimising labour costs and reducing the risk of human error during the baling process.
    • Plastic balers are able to run 24/7, with the higher spec models able to cope with high volumes of waste, ensuring waste disposal is able to keep up with your operational requirements, no matter how demanding the schedule.
