J.P CALLANAN & SON

Situation

J.P Callanan & Son, based in Leighton Buzzard, have just taken on a new LFA 500 vertical mill size baler. They are a skip and demolition company that know they need to pick their material to maximise the recycling and reduce material going to landfill.

Over a month’s period they expect to create roughly an arctic load of bales weighing in excess of 450kg each of which 40% will be mixed rigid plastics, 20% cardboard, 20% PP bulk bags and 20% LDPE.

They process the cardboard into the baler as they generate it, separating out the other recyclables which are placed into IBC bulk bags. Once enough plastic has become available, this will also be produced into bales.
