Large volumes of waste materials are found in all areas of industry. All businesses have a responsibility to dispose of their waste in the most environmentally friendly way. There have been numerous changes relating to the theme of waste in recent years. Major changes have occurred because of new Legislation, not only in UK, but also Europe and the whole world. Everyone is trying to help the planet and the environment and the outcome of this can be worthwhile.

The most notable Legislation gives the duty of all organizations to take action to Sort, Segregate, Reuse and Recycle more. Each business must show that they are doing this effectively. All businesses producing waste, must Sort their waste. In other words, removing waste materials, which can be used again. These reusable items must be segregated or separated and removed from waste, which would otherwise be sent to landfill. The reusable waste must be stored in some way and eventually taken to a place where it can be returned to a reusable state.

In the past, bins and other containers of several sizes have been the most common way of removing waste. Historically, all waste was collected in one big container or bin. It would all be compacted and transported to landfill. Nowadays, there is a residual value of recyclable materials, such as cardboard, plastics, paper, polypropylene, metals and many more. So they can be removed from a organizations general waste stream and sorted for recycling.

This meant that less general waste is going to landfill. The first way of collecting these recyclable wastes was to give them each different containers. For example, a bin specifically identified for Cardboard. It would have a sign saying, "Cardboard Only". This is not the greenest way to recycle cardboard or any other material. Transporting loose cardboard or plastic in this state means there must be many collection vehicles forever on the road. These thousands of lorries transporting cardboard and plastics, produced lots of pollution and were required much more frequently than the preferred solution.

As a result of the changing world and technology, there has been an advent of the Waste baler. This Recycling Machinery first started typically as a Vertical Compactor. The Vertical Waste baler is basically a steel container, with a top door and a bottom door. The top door is for loading the Cardboard, Plastic or other Waste material into the Baler. The bottom door is for removing the finished bale. There is a Pressing-Plate which is forced down onto the Waste. This really compacts the waste and a lot of waste can be forced into a bale under immense pressure. The smaller Recycling Waste compactors may use a pressing-force of 2 to 5 tons.

The result of compacting the recyclable waste material in a Baler has created lots of benefits. Because the waste is very compact, in a tied stackable form or shape, it can be stored. The need for transportation will be greatly reduced. So there will be much less pollution on the roads. The waste is being recycled efficiently, so less waste will go to landfill. Organizations will pay less landfill-tax. The removal of bales is usually free of charge and sometimes a organization can even gain some revenue. The cost of having a Compactor is usually much cheaper than having bins emptied.

Organizations producing larger volumes of recyclable waste have found it beneficial to use larger Recycling Machinery or Equipment, commonly known as a Mill Size Waste baler. This Waste baler Equipment is much larger and stronger. The pressing-force can be up to 50 Tonnes in the case of a good Mill Size Waste baler. The main use of a Mill Size Waste baler is for Recycling Cardboard. This Waste Compactor will typically produce Cardboard Bales in the region of 500Kg.

Collectors of Waste will know that Mill Size Bales are worth approximately 20% more than smaller bales. This is because the smaller bales have to be re-baled in a Mill Size Baler, before transportation to recycling plants further away. If a organization produces bales in a Mill Size Baler, he can usually have them collected free and should also receive a payment for large tonnage volumes.
