Effective waste reduction in the large format retail sector - how to do it right?
November 2, 2022
The large-format retail is an industry that has to contend with a large amount of packaging waste. These are mainly plastics, cardboard and waste paper, which are recyclable raw materials. These have to be separated and stored, spending both a lot of time and free space in the storage area. However, the volume of these materials can be effectively reduced by compacting them. As a manufacturer, we supply modern balers and compactors for e.g. plastics and cardboard, ideal for large shops - find out the benefits.
How is packaging waste managed?
The packaging waste produced by the large format retail must be sorted so that it can later be recycled. As a result, store employees spend a lot of time separating empty plastics, cardboard and waste paper. Often these materials end up in containers, where they wait to be collected.
The waste is uncompressed, thus taking up a lot of valuable space in the backroom. Nowadays, however, the lack of sufficient storage space is no longer an issue - modern balers solve this problem. These machines enable plastic, cardboard and waste paper to be compacted, significantly reducing their volume.
We are a manufacturer of balers that can easily compress packaging waste into compact, bound and ready-to-transport bales. This ensures that waste materials are prepared for collection by companies responsible for recycling plastic, cardboard or other raw materials.
Which balers work well in the large format retail sector?
Balers for packaging waste - cardboard, waste paper and plastic - are widely used in the large format retail sector. The machines are versatile, meaning that they can cope with the different types of waste that are found in the store.
For stores with relatively small facilities, we recommend purchasing the small B3 or B4 vertical balers. They are compact, yet very versatile and above all efficient.
It is also worth looking at the B5 Wide model, which is slightly larger than the B3 and B4. This baler has a larger feed opening and produces heavier bales: 80-110 kg (cardboard) or 90-130 kg (plastic foil).
On the other hand, if the store produces large amounts of waste then balers with a wide feed opening are ideal: B30 Wide, X40 Wide. These are of course just some of the models in our wide range of balers.

Recycling packaging waste can be a source of additional revenue
By investing in modern balers for waste cardboard, paper and plastic, you can improve the management of packaging waste in your store. On top of that, you'll regain a lot of valuable space in the backroom and relieve the burden on your employees, who will gain time for more important tasks in the company.
But did you know that the press can also become a source of additional revenue? Cardboard boxes and plastics are recyclable packaging waste, so you can sell them. A compacting machine will prepare them perfectly for this - the raw materials are sorted, compacted and tied up, i.e. ready for collection by recycling companies.
