Waste management with baling presses for companies: Basics for an economical and sustainable approach to waste
Whether large or small – every company generates waste. For founders, start-ups or small businesses, the question often arises: Where should all the cardboard, paper, hard plastics, films or PET bottles go? Vertical baling presses offer an economical, sustainable and space-saving solution.
Why such a press should be integrated into your disposal concept and how it works in practice is explained in this article.
1. Inefficient waste management with containers
The waste management of many companies relies on a container solution: A disposal container is rented from a specialized service provider. The generated waste is collected in its untreated state and stored until it is picked up.
However, this solution requires a lot of space and is therefore inconvenient, as containers usually have to be placed outdoors due to their size. This quickly leads to long walking distances. Open doors or gates also increase the risk of pests entering and, last but not least, cause energy losses and higher CO₂ emissions. These disadvantages can be avoided by using a vertical baling press.
2. Basics of waste management with vertical baling presses
Vertical baling presses compress bulky waste such as film or cardboard quickly and easily into compact bales, reducing the volume by up to 95 percent. These bales can be easily transported and stored in a space-saving manner.
Since the vertical baling press itself only requires two to three square meters of floor space, it can usually be installed directly where the waste is generated. This reduces walking distances. Waste can also be processed quickly and does not accumulate. This ensures more space and order at the workplace.
3. Sustainable disposal concept
Nowadays, founders or start-ups often focus not only on efficiency but also on sustainability. In this respect, integrating vertical baling presses into the company’s disposal concept is a great idea: The compressed bales ensure that trucks are optimally loaded during collection. This significantly reduces the number of trips required. As a result, CO₂ emissions are lowered and transport costs decrease.
With sorted recyclable bales, companies can even earn money. Since these bales can be returned to the recycling cycle as secondary raw materials, disposal companies usually pay a fee for them. This allows businesses to contribute to a more sustainable economy while benefiting themselves. Moreover, sustainability will become even more important in view of future legal reporting obligations under the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (EU) 2022/2464). gewinnen wird.
