Plastic Balers for Recycling
Plastic is generated by several businesses in many different forms. Since plastic isn’t biodegradable failure to recycle it will lead to pollution that often ends up clogging up landfills or oceans for thousands of years. This can cause serious long-term damage to the environment and wildlife.
In addition to the environmental aspect, plastic can also take up valuable space in bins and skips leading to frequent collections that can soon add up. This additional business expense can be significantly reduced by investing in a Plastic Baler for hire. This machine will enable you to compact and bale waste plastic. Once baled the material can be collected for recycling and is often taken away for free. At certain volumes, plastic bales can even start to generate revenue.
No matter how much waste plastic you produce it’s likely that your business can benefit from Plastic Baler hire. We sell and hire machinery capable of producing 25kg bales to 500kg mill sized bales.
Over the past 20 years, we’ve worked with multiple businesses from all sectors across the UK to implement a recycling solution that works for them. On average our customers save thousands of pounds a year.

What are the Benefits of Plastic Balers?
As a society, we are consuming more plastic than ever before. To tackle this problem businesses across all industries including; retail, restaurants, offices, supermarkets, and warehouses have invested in Plastic Balers hire. This is because they offer a host of benefits to businesses including:
Cost Savings
Plastic Baler hire enables you to remove the majority of plastic from your waste stream. This free’s up space in bins and skips reducing the need for frequent collections. Baled plastic is often collected for free and at certain volumes can even generate revenue. Over time the financial savings often outweigh the capital cost of the machinery.
Improved Efficiency
Plastic Balers hires can be placed right at the source of plastic. This reduces the number of trips staff need to spend going and back and forth to the bins. This means they can spend more time and energy focusing on key business tasks. If you produce large quantities of waste, we can design and install full turn-key systems that feed material directly into the baler via a conveyor belt.
Enhanced Environmental Credentials
Plastic waste is becoming an increasingly hot topic for consumers. Buying trends have shown some consumers have shifted to favour more sustainable businesses. By opting to bale and recycle your waste you reduce your carbon footprint and reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfill.
Saves Space On-site
Plastic film can take up a lot of valuable space and not only make a business look untidy but can also be a health hazard. Hiring a Plastc Baler can keep your site clear and enables you to keep on top of your waste.

Plastic Baler Frequently Asked Questions
Balers enable you to place waste material into a chamber. Once full the machine deploys a powerful compaction ram applying several tonnes of pressure to compact the material. This process is completed multiple times until a full bale is ejected from the machine.
Recycling Balers and waste compactors can be used in almost every industry. Including retailers, supermarkets, manufactures, distribution centres, hotels, logistic centres, and more. Even the smallest of businesses can benefit from a Baler.
Several types of plastic can be baled including soft plastics, such as bags, tubing, cartons, and packaging. Hard plastics such as jugs, bottles, can also be baled. For more information please contact us.
Both machines aim to minimise the amount of space waste takes up. However, they typically process different materials. Balers are perfect for compacting dry waste recyclables. If your business produces a sufficient stream of these materials then a Baler could be a suitable option. However, if your business produces a high volume of mixed general waste then a Compactor may be required. To learn more, read our full-length article covering this topic.
