Businesses that do not bale their compactable plastic packaging waste are likely to be missing out on an opportunity to reduce their commercial waste disposal costs. This is because despite being lightweight, plastic packaging is often voluminous and springy therefore bins are not always the most cost-effective method of disposal. In this article we’ll explore why baling plastic packaging waste can often be a rewarding process for businesses that want to cut their overheads.
What is Plastic Baler Rental?
A plastic baler transforms loose plastic waste into bales that are tied by baler banding or wires. Examples of plastic waste materials that can be baled include bottles, shrink wrap, polythene, sacks and bags. Compaction inside a baler significantly reduces the overall volume of waste when compared to disposal in bins. Rental is an easy way to futureproof your baler as it enables you to upsize or downsize your machine to reflect the needs of your business. Balers for hire are available in different sizes therefore it is important that you select your compactor carefully to ensure you do not overpay.

What are the Benefits of Renting a Plastic Baler?
The top 5 reasons how renting a plastic baler can benefit your business:
Plastic compacting machines can compress materials faster than a person can do manually which can help to save valuable time. Also because balers can be located both inside or outside a premises, your team will also not have to waste time carrying bulky waste to a bin store if the machine is located close to where the waste is produced.
Compactors for plastics can help your business save money on waste disposal. This is because they help you to divert plastic waste away from your bins. This could enable you to slim down your bins so you have more space to work with or reduce the frequency of your waste collections.
You could make money from your plastic waste if you produce lots of bales. This is because many recyclers are keen to buy your bales of plastic from businesses. This can give your company a new revenue stream if you produce bales of their desired specification and in sufficient quantity.
When done correctly, baled plastic waste is sent for recycling instead of going to landfill. Being sustainable can give your business a positive reputation amongst your customers which could help set you apart from your competition.
Balers are not just for plastic, they can also help businesses turn cardboard packaging into bales making them a multi-material waste handling solution.
Which Plastics Can be Recycled in the UK?
