The Magic of Cardboard Waste Balers:
What is a Baler? A baler is a machine used to compress cardboard waste (and other recyclables) into manageable, compact bales, making storage and transportation more efficient.
How Do Balers Work?
- Cardboard is fed into the baler's chamber.
- Hydraulic arms compress the cardboard.
- Once compressed to optimal density, the bale is tied securely and ready for collection.
By using balers, businesses significantly reduce the volume of their cardboard waste, making the collection and recycling process smoother and more economical.
