junE 8, 2020
Companies in the retail sector face many challenges every day. One of them is the efficient management of various types of waste: cardboard, soft plastic or paper. All of them take up a lot of space, and their transport requires considerable costs. Is this problem in your store? Find out how to solve it!
Packaging waste in a store: how to deal with it?
Waste in a smaller store is often as big a problem as in large area stores. The small amount of space in the backroom has long been a problem in terms of efficient waste reduction mainly due to its volume.
Smaller stores are helped by balers with a compact design which, like their larger counterparts, are used to compact waste efficiently into handy bales. By optimizing the space taken up by the waste, you can gain more valuable space in the backroom or storage area, increasing the throughput of communication routes.
The balers will keep your workplace tidy, no matter how much waste you produce every day. It's worth knowing that this type of equipment works equally well in medium size and large stores.
Compact designed balers in the backroom: what to choose?
The range of compact designed balers that can easily be installed even in a small backroom is quite extensive. Which one should you choose? If you have any doubts, it's best to contact one of the sales persons from the company offering this type of equipment - they are experts you can rely on.
However, it is worth to have an insight into what the market offers. Recommended small and fully functional balers include the B3 (bundled with a bale cart) and B4. These balers are dedicated to small stores.
B3 & B4 balers
For medium-sized stores, B5 Wide model with wide filling opening, designed for efficient compacting of large and bulky materials, will work.

Small balers are great for retail. Why? They are extremely simple, safe, offer an intuitive operation and have low operating costs.
