Challenges of Managing Plastic Waste
Plastics are used extensively in industries such as manufacturing, packaging, retail, food processing, construction, and automotive, among others. With a wide variety of plastic types, including recyclable materials like PET bottles, HDPE containers, and shrink wrap, businesses require tailored solutions to handle their waste effectively. Key challenges include:
- Diverse Material Composition: Plastics vary in type and recyclability, requiring specialised handling.
- Storage Needs: Large volumes of lightweight plastic can quickly occupy significant storage space.
- Cost Implications: Inefficient handling increases disposal and transportation costs.
Solutions for Plastic Waste Handling
Baling Plastic Waste
Baling plastic materials is an effective solution to streamline waste management and add value to recyclable plastics. Almost any recyclable plastic material—rigid or flexible—can be baled, including common items like:
- PET bottles
- HDPE containers
- Plastic packaging and shrink wrap
Baling offers numerous benefits, including:
- Increased Material Value: Compacting plastics into bales enhances their market value.
- Reduced Storage Space: Compact bales take up less room, improving overall housekeeping.
- Lower Transportation Costs: Transporting bales is more cost-effective than loose waste.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Streamlined waste handling improves workplace productivity.
WMR supplies a wide range of high-quality balers suitable for businesses of all sizes, from those producing small waste volumes to companies handling large-scale operations. Options include:
- Vertical Balers: Ideal for limited space and smaller volumes.
- Semi-Automatic and Fully Automatic Balers: Designed for smooth handling of larger volumes.
Compacting Plastic Waste
Compactors are another effective solution for managing plastic waste. These machines reduce waste volume, optimise storage space, and improve site waste handling. WMR offers compactors with various loading options to suit your needs, including:
- Wheelie bin and dock-loading options.
- Open hoppers for easy loading.
- Enclosed side-loading doors for secure waste handling.
Compacting plastic waste not only reduces disposal and transportation costs, but also ensures a cleaner, more organised workspace.
