Depackaging Systems for Sustainable Solutions
Depackaging involves separating products from their packaging for recycling, waste management, or product recovery.
It’s crucial for managing rejected, recalled, damaged, returned, or expired products. This process is increasingly popular as it allows the extraction of valuable materials from packaged food, organic, and liquid products. These materials can then be repurposed through recycling, reuse, bio-energy generation, or sustainable disposal, driven by technological advancements, consumer demand for sustainability, and industry investments. In Australia, regulations like the National Packaging Targets push companies to adopt sustainable waste management practices, with depackaging systems as an ideal solution. Consumer preferences for sustainable products also drive the adoption of depackaging systems. Waste Initiatives offers tailored solutions with shredders, depackaging units, crushers, compactors, and sorting systems.
We provide engineered depackaging systems designed to meet your specific needs, offering more than just equipment solutions.
Complete Depackaging System Solutions
We deliver turnkey depackaging systems that can be customised with conveyors, hoppers, and collection bins to fit your specific needs. We provide comprehensive training and support, including access to essential parts and after-sales servicing to ensure continued operational efficiency. The Mavitec Paddle Depacker S and Depacker 2.0 are a compact and heavy-duty waste management solution that efficiently separates packaging from organic material. With their low maintenance design and user-friendly features it reduces waste volume and produces clean organic matter (>99.7%) suitable for biogas installations.
Operating with low power consumption and minimal noise, the Paddle Depacker offers an efficient and practical solution for waste reduction and processing of organic materials, making it perfect for industries in need of effective depacking and waste management solutions. We also offer WastePac integrated depackaging systems that can separate food, liquid and co-products from its packaging, and shred, granulate, or compact the resulting materials. See Shredding systems for more information.

Key Components of Depackaging Systems
Essential for safe & efficient waste handling, these components help load waste into the system through bin lifters or directly into in-feed hoppers.
Configurable in various ways, conveyors transport waste efficiently through the system, utilising infeed and outfeed setups.
Screw augers transport and break up bulky waste, with the option to drain liquid, before entering the shredder or granulator system.
The Mavitec Paddle Depacker efficiently separates packaging from organic material, reducing waste volume and producing biogas-ready matter with low power consumption and minimal noise.
Our industrial shredders cater to various needs: Single Shaft for high-volume, Dual Shaft for heavy-duty, and Four Shaft for consistent size control.
Used secondary to shredders or standalone for finer size reduction down to 3mm. The smaller the screen size, the slower the processing time.
Our Separating/Sorting Equipment systems use air, optical, magnetic, and eddy separators, with options like discharge pumps, air conveying units, and pick stations for cleaner waste streams.
