The True Cost of Waste Handling

Many clients underestimate the true cost of waste handling. As there are hidden costs of manual waste handling

• Labour: collection internally within the site/building, transport to the current baler, time taken to load the manual baler, tying each bale by hand, cleanup.
• Downtime: production interruptions for waste removal and hold ups
• Transport & disposal: higher volume of site traffic, due to less-dense loads & subsequently increase haulage frequency
• Space & logistics: areas used to store & bale,  forklift time, traffic flow disruption.
• Compliance & safety: HSE issues, PPE, training, incident costs and injury risk.

Benefits of installing a fully automatic baler

Labour reduction: Cut handling down by an average of 66% & reallocate staff to other jobs (more productive), potential for a lower headcount or a reduction in overtime.

Lower haulage & disposal fees: denser loads = fewer pickups = lower per-tonne handling costs.

Increased throughput & uptime: continuous on-line compaction minimizes production stops.

Improved recycling revenue: cleaner environment & uniform bales fetch higher prices.

Floor space reclaimed: less waste storage areas needed.

Safety & compliance improvements: fewer manual lifts, reduced incident risk, reduction in insurance premiums

The biggest benefit? Predictable operating costs and easier sustainability reporting.
