Cardboard Recycling; the options

Cardboard balers today are important because cardboard waste is very common in most businesses. It is extensively used for packaging and it is hard to avoid. Gradeall supply its balers to shops, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, hotels, hospitals helping them to deal with waste cardboard.

Rather than have piles of old waste cardboard our range of balers allow loose cardboard to be turned into dense, easy to manage bales. From the 50Kg G-eco 50 machines to the 750 bales the horizontal GH600 can produce, Gradeall has balers to deal with all volumes of cardboard in sizes to suit space requirements.

COMPACT OR BALE CARDBOARD?

Cardboard can be left loose, thrown into a skip or a compactor, however, we feel these options are not as good as a baler.

Cardboard is a valuable recycling commodity, so we always advise our customers to choose a baler for cardboard, our compactors can deal with cardboard. However, the cardboard is still loose in this state, because it would ultimately require further processing which is typically baling it does not have the value of a cardboard bale.

A baler is much better for cardboard because:

• Bales of cardboard have a monetary value.
• A baler does not need cardboard to be flattened, saving time.
• Balers, especially vertical balers are space efficient and can be located within the waste handling area itself
• A baler will produce bales of a constant size and weight, making it easy to calculate total weight by number of bales
• Bales are easy to stack which is ideal for storage and loading onto trucks or containers for shipping
• Bales are exactly what cardboard recyclers want, there is no further processing needed.
• With reduced transport and handling required the overall process will reduce your carbon footprint.

Our horizontal range of balers offers the flexibility of a static compactor with things such as tipping skip hoppers, chute/conveyor feed, or bin lifts. These large balers are ideal if you deal with very high levels of cardboard waste.
