Cardboard Cores

The costs for businesses to dispose these cores can also be significant and take time as they need to be broken down first. That’s why Waste Initiative’s Bergmann – PS1400 Roto Baler is  the perfect solution. It efficiently tears and compacts the cores in one step, with a rotating compaction head which rolls and crushes cardboard cores and cardboard boxes inside a plastic bale bag on a pallet. On the other hand for large amounts of cardboard, the APS1100 Roto Compactor is best and empties broken down material within a 1100L wheelie bin.

Challenge
Prima Print, a leading print company in Australia, recycles 435 tonnes of paper annually. They were incurring costs from disposing a large volume of cardboard cores into waste and landfill. To gain control over their equipment and avoid a long-term contract with a recycling contractor, Prima Print sought a turnkey solution that would eliminate their pain points and include comprehensive after-sales support.

Solution
Waste Initiatives recommended a shredder and compactor package to address Prima Print’s high-volume cardboard core disposal issue. The shredder has engineered cutter hooks and a hopper customised for long cardboard cores. The shredded cores, along with paper and cardboard offcuts, are loaded into a stationary compactor with a heavy-duty bin lifter and compactor bin, ready for recycling. The smart control panel provides real-time SMS and email reporting for collection dates, reducing bin collections. With full ownership, Prima can secure better rebates for cardboard and paper from their recycler and switch recyclers quickly without waiting for new equipment.
