More Efficient Waste Management Could Save Facilities Significant Costs


For facility managers, investing into more efficient waste management could result in a reduction of costs, saving of space, and an increase in recycling, says Jason Smith, Managing Director of phs Wastekit.


The type of waste generated across sites is varied, with volumes of mixed materials generated on a daily basis. This waste often takes up a lot of valuable floor space, while also resulting in annually increasing landfill disposal costs. Waste efficiency is an area that is often overlooked when it comes to streamlining business processes. By incorporating compactors and balers into the waste disposal process, businesses can reduce costs and increase the amount they recycle.


Waste efficiency is an area that is often overlooked when streamlining facility operations. By incorporating compactors and balers into the waste disposal process, facility managers can reduce overheads and significantly increase the volume of waste that is recycled.


What Are Compactors And Balers?


Compactors are a long-term solution to waste management issues and can reduce your waste volume by up to 90%. While balers are perfect for dealing with large volumes of plastic, cardboard, or paper waste. Compactors work to reduce the size of general waste by compressing its volume. This can result in lower storage costs, less skips required on site, and lower landfill disposal costs.


Balers are ideal for recyclable materials. They process recyclable materials into bales which can be easily recycled. In some instances, this waste can also be sold. Many businesses are happy to pay for cardboard, and there also opportunities to sell recyclable waste for use as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).


Another benefit of baling waste is an increase in the cleanliness of production floors. Loose waste can be a huge risk to health and safety, often becoming a fire and trip hazard. In contrast, bales of waste can be securely stacked and stored, which increases the safety of waste storage.

Businesses often report an increase in the amount of waste they recycled when waste material is sorted into bales. This allows for more sustainable business practices, as it means less waste is sent to landfill. More compact volumes of waste could also result in fewer vehicle collections which would result in a lower carbon footprint for business operations.


Acquiring Your Chosen Machinery


Compactors and balers can be bought or rented. Renting means that no upfront capital expenditure is required. Rental is often a better option for businesses require more flexibility, or where usage needs are expected grow quickly.


Outright purchasing of machinery could be a better option for businesses with predictable wastes streams. For businesses that prefer a fixed monthly cost, machine rental with a maintenance agreement offers a predictable operational expense. There are a range of sizes and types of balers and compactors to choose from, meaning all needs, and budgets can be catered to.
