COMPACTORS AND PRESSES – PLASTIC RECYCLING

Waste Compactors

Plastic recycling is an environmentally friendly and economically sound way to handle polymer waste. For a full container of compressed plastic or a sealed plastic bale you can get good compensation. Easy-to-use, reliable and safe waste compactors release staff time to perform their immediate duties. Efficient waste management is the key to creating a comfortable working environment.

Balex®- Vertical Presses

Balex presses are very productive with the most compact size, which allows you to place them even in small rooms, and free space to use for storage of products, not debris. If you install a press at the waste site, you can reduce waste disposal time. Due to the availability of two program options, the press can be used for the alternating processing of cardboard and plastic. The finished compact pile is then easily moved on the pallet for further processing.

Types of plastic waste

There are many types of plastic waste generated by commercial and industrial activities that are suitable for processing with compactors and vertical presses. Companies are responsible for the disposal of plastic waste.
Examples of different types of plastic waste:
Transparent plastic
Packaging, stretch and shrink polyethylene films
Colored plastic
Films and Bags
Industrial surplus material
Plastic cans
PET Bottle
Plastic package

Plastic sorting and reuse

Plastic waste is sorted by type, impurities are removed. The sorted plastic is then reused to make new products. Not all plastic waste is suitable for recycling, however, it is an environmentally friendly and feasible way to handle polymer waste. The period of natural degradation of plastics reaches several hundred years, so the recycling of waste is part of a global effort to reduce the amount of harmful substances entering the environment.
