QCR Customer Case Study 1 - St Michael's Mount in Cornwall saved £150 per month on waste costs by installing a QCR cardboard baler
The idyllic island off the south west coast of the UK is separated from the mainland making the transportation of waste expensive. Previously, 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.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 Waste 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. Installing the QCR baler helped the team achieve savings of approximately £150 per month. Further to these savings staff time has been reduced, as there is no longer a need to flat pack and bundle the waste material as they are placed directly into the baler or bag stand. The dense, bales are easy to handle and store improving the tidiness on site. The waste is now collected free of charge and sent for recycling.
QCR Customer Case Study 2 - The National Trust's Knoll Beach Shop install a QCR 305 Cardboard Baler
Studland Bay is a four mile stretch of sandy beach in Purbeck Dorset which has been managed by the National Trust since 1982. Knoll beach within the bay, has excellent facilities including a cafe, shop and play area. The team at the shop needed a solution to help them with their waste and therefore decided to hire a QCR Cardboard Baler on a seasonal contract.
QCR Customer Testimonial from Studland Bay's Operations Manager Emma Wright "As part of the National Trust, we are always looking to find the best possible system for every aspect of the charity. We think we have found a great solution to our waste problems with the QCR 305 baler. We get very busy during the summer. Our staff can now spend less time dealing with our waste cardboard and more time on welcoming visitors".
Customer Case Study 3 - Parkdean Resorts cut waste costs with help from QCR Recycling Equipment
This leading UK holiday company have over 40 coastal holiday parks. 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.
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.
QCR Customer testimonial: "QCR have a great set up which has meant I’ve been able to leave them to work with each park to get the best equipment on site and most importantly, reduce their waste costs. I’ve had all good feedback from the resort managers" D.F, Regional Director from Parkdean Resorts
