Leading UK wide holiday park company cut waste costs with help from QCR
This company have over 40 coastal holiday parks in the UK. Each park offers a variety of facilities from club houses to indoor pools. Each resort manages their waste at a local level and each site has different waste management requirements.
Bespoke Solution
After discussing their goals and challenges, the team at QCR decided to survey each site individually to find a bespoke solution for each location. It was apparent that glass, cardboard and the general waste bins were the highest costs to each resort and a waste compactor could help to reduce these costs. Each site had varying amounts of waste and different processes so every site received a recommendation bespoke to them. Due to the broad range of balers and compactors available, QCR could supply recycling equipment ideally suited for each location.

South west tourist attraction saves £150 per month with help from QCR
An idyllic island off the south west coast of the UK is separated from the mainland making the transportation of waste expensive. The plastic and cardboard had to be flat packed and placed into bins, taking up a significant amount of time and physical exertion. Additionally filling and storing the bins of waste proved to be extremely hard in windy conditions as it kept being blown away if the bins were not closed.
New Waste Baler Installation
They contacted us for advice on a sustainable and cost effective solution. After a free site survey was completed we recommended installing a QCR 306 baler for cardboard along with a plastic bag stand. The cardboard is placed directly into the baler whilst the paper and plastic are stored neatly in a plastic bag stand and baled in between cardboard bales.

Private island reduces polystyrene waste dramatically with QCR
QCR Recycling Equipment have provided many solutions for offshore waste management as it is more efficient to compact waste prior to transferring it to the mainland. A private island sought the advice of QCR to help them find a more efficient solution for their their used polystyrene fish box waste.
Offshore Waste Management Solution
This project, in conjunction with the Environment Agency, saw the installation of a EPS 900 polystyrene crusher. The polystyrene compactor reduces polystyrene by up to 40:1, compacting it into easy to handle briquettes. QCR also helped to organise the collection and transportation of the briquettes back to the UK mainland to be recycled.
Customer quote
"In our first month we have made a significant impact in removing all polystyrene from our waste stream, the end compacted polystyrene does in fact take 40 fish boxes down to a 40:1 ratio as shown in all their literature. We are proud to be working alongside both the Environment Agency and QCR to resolve and improve all waste issues on the island” - Company representative.

Cotswold hotel saves £1,820 per annum with QCR
A well known hotel in the Cotswolds contacted QCR to find out more about sustainable waste management equipment for the hospitality sector. They have over 100 bedrooms, two restaurants, three bars, eleven meeting rooms and a health and leisure club with indoor pool and nine hole golf course. To deal with all the waste from these facilities, 10 x 1100 litre bin lifts were needed every week.
Solution
A QCR 102 baler has been installed and now bales all cardboard waste. A local recycler collects the baled cardboard and takes it away to be recycled.
Savings
The number of bin lifts have been cut by 50%, meaning the cardboard baler is generating savings of £1,820 per annum. 
Additional benefits
Cardboard boxes no longer need to be torn, folded or flattened, saving a huge amount of time and effort. The area used for storing waste is now much tidier. The hotel's green credentials have been significantly enhanced.
