    • Waste Management
    • Councils

      There has been a strong push in recent years – by both Environment Protection Agencies and state governments – for councils to reduce the volume of waste disposed in landfill sites.

    • Distribution Centres

      Distribution Centres

      Distribution centres receive large quantities of goods wrapped in cardboard or plastic materials. Once these goods are unpacked, substantial amounts of waste packaging remain. As waste disposal costs increase, skips aren’t as viable an option as they once were for regular collection of this waste. Waste Initiatives offers valuable solutions to packaging material disposal.

    • Facility Management

      Facility Management

      The proper facility management of factories, warehouses and housing developments includes the ability to efficiently manage tenants’ waste disposal. This involves facility managers offering simple and useful methods to dispose various waste products without taking up too much building space.

    • Healthcare

      Hospitals generate a wide range of waste products, both by way of regular safe-to-handle products like packaging materials and recyclables, but also a large portion of sensitive waste products which require special handling and treatment.

    • Hospitality

      Hospitality

      Hospitality establishments like hotels, restaurants and catering companies create large amounts of cardboard, plastic and food waste. Large functions and sporting events also produce massive quantities of waste which need to be removed in a speedy and effective manner. Hospitality waste is problematic as it’s bulky and smelly to dispose.

    • Manufacturing

      Manufacturing

      Manufacturing in Australia creates substantial amounts of mixed recyclable materials from a range of packaging types. The good news is that steel, cardboard and plastic can be recovered and recycled for other uses. A challenge manufacturers experience is separating the recyclable material to be baled or compacted for a recycler’s use. As a result, many manufacturers are wasting valuable products which could generate a substantial revenue stream for them.

    • Mining & Resources

      Mine sites are often established in regional, remote or even offshore locations and generate a large volume of waste material. With considerable scrutiny from environmental authorities, correct disposal of waste generated from site is essential. With the implementation of best-practice waste reduction technologies, there is also the added benefit of reducing disposal costs and potential revenue from recyclable waste streams.

    • Retail

      Retail

      Retail outlets generate huge quantities of cardboard, paper and general waste. In the past, waste was disposed of using expensive uncompacted bins, now the retail industry is relying on balers and waste compactors as a superior alternative. Not only does this reduce their waste and carbon footprint considerably, but it also cuts disposal costs by a large margin.

    • Waste Management

      Australia’s waste is predominantly handled by waste contractors, material recovery facilities and transfer stations. These systems facilitate the removal of waste from the point of generation, ensure maximum landfill diversion and attend to the recycling of commodities including paper and cardboard, glass, plastic, gyprock, steel and other reusable materials.

    • Confidential Waste

      Confidential

      The privacy and confidentiality of sensitive information is more important than ever due to today’s online business environment. The Privacy Act requires many companies to ensure the confidentiality of personal information and so disposing this waste securely and safely is essential.

    • E-Waste

      E-Waste

      E-Waste disposal will continue to be an expanding market as technology becomes more pivotal to day-to-day affairs worldwide. Electronics can contain various valuable materials like gold, silver, platinum and base metals like copper, iron and aluminium which are all recoverable. E-Waste that isn’t properly disposed of can expose private secure information so it is vital we put an emphasis on confidentiality with our management of this waste.

    • General Waste

      Government and industry efforts have attempted to minimise municipal solid waste (MSW) – otherwise known as trash or garbage – yet it still dominates the waste stream. An alternative option to detrimental landfill is to turn this waste into energy with refuse derived fuel (RDF).

    • Glass

      Glass

      Glass is a fantastic resource for recycling purposes as it makes up a large component of household and industrial waste due to its weight and density. Glass is infinitely recyclable for new container manufacturing.

    • Metal Aluminium

      Metal & Aluminium

      Recycling has been commonplace in the steel industry for over 150 years as it is the most economically viable way to produce steel. It is much more affordable and time-saving than mining iron ore and manipulating it through the production process to form new steel.

    • Plasterboard

      Our range of shredding & pulverising systems can achieve volume reduction, sizing and segregation of non-gypsum material in order to maximise the value of the processed plasterboard to the recycler.

    • Plastic

      Plastic

      Plastic is prevalent in an ever-expanding array of modern-day products – everything from paper clips to spaceships! As most plastic types aren’t biodegradable, recycling plays a huge part in global efforts to reduce plastic in the waste stream.

    • Polystyrene

      Polystyrene

      Polystyrene is a bulky material containing mostly air, which if not recycled, will take up precious space in landfill and resist breaking down due to its inert nature. When compacted, its density increases and it becomes a high-value recyclable commodity for producers of recycled plastic pellets.

    • Timber

      Timber

      Recycled timber is the most environmentally friendly form of composite timber production in Australia and New Zealand, where remnants of wooden structures and imported wooden pallets are abundant. Another use for recycled timber is to shred it down into wood chips to power homes or to use as mulch for plants.

    • Tyres

      Tyres

      Tyres are a challenging waste product as their large volume, durability and internal void take up valuable landfill space quickly. New technologies like pyrolysis and de-vulcanisation mean tyres can now be recycled to become tyre-derived fuels, new rubber products, playground surfaces, new tyres and rubber-modified asphalt.

      Balers are almost always used for the compaction of material to facilitate storage, handling, and transport. Typical materials being baled in the waste and recycling industries are plastic packaging, plastic bottles, paper, cardboard packaging, light gauge ferrous and non ferrous metals. In fact, any product which can be compacted into a bale. Waste Initiatives sells an excellent range of balers, both vertical and horizontal, with safety in mind. We have balers from small single phase units producing a bale of 40 kgs, up to large balers, producing bales weighing over 1 tonne, which are great for commercial use.

      Waste Initiatives’ shredders are heavy-duty machines designed for industrial applications and can be configured to efficiently process a wide range of materials, including: paper, cardboard, plastic, ferrous and non-ferrous metal and tyres.

Single shaft shredders are Top loading. Shaft shear type shredders are almost always slow speed, with the product exiting the shredder almost entirely determined by the width of the cutters. Shear type Two shaft shredders come in Top loading and throughfeed format.
