Industrial Balers for Recyvling

Corrugated cardboard represents a significant percentage of the commercial solid waste stream and can represent 15% of the waste generated in an office setting and as much as 40% or more in a retail establishment.

By recycling your cardboard instead of discarding it you’ll be:

• Conserving energy usage,
• Reducing the production of green house gases and the emissions of certain air pollutants,
• Conserving water use,
• Conserving natural resources (it takes 3 tons of trees to produce one ton of virgin cardboard),
• Reducing the cost of your waste disposal,
• Freeing up space used to store waste cardboard,
• Complying with local regulations as applicable.

The recycling of corrugated containers is easy and simple to implement. Once the clean cardboard is separated, your system for handling the corrugated may be a simple as placing the loose flattened corrugated into a container, manually bundling it, or using a mechanical baler.

For businesses generating larger quantities of corrugated the decision to bale and the choice of bale size, should be made on a case-by-case basis. Generally speaking, both baling and compacting improve ease of handling, reduce storage space requirements and allow greater quantities to be carried per haul, thus reducing hauling costs.
