Overview
Manufacturing in Australia creates substantial amounts of mixed recyclable materials from a range of waste streams.
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. To make profitable returns out of recyclable materials, manufacturers use balers, shredders, granulators, compactors and crushers from Waste Initiative to collect, dispose and recycle waste.
