BALING BENEFITS ON REMOTE ISLANDS
Niijima Village, located in the Izu Islands, is reachable in about two and a half hours by high-speed jet ferry from Tokyo. The Niijima municipality spans over two islands famous for their rich natural environment and beautiful coastline. Niijima Island, in particular, is renowned as a mecca for surfing and attracts numerous tourists throughout the year. How has the introduction of Orwak’s compaction equipment transformed the storage and logistics of recyclables? Let’s explore the waste management challenges remote islands face and the resource circulation initiatives Niijima Village initiates!

The Orwak baler 5070-HDC turns PET bottles and cans into compact bales saving storage space and improving transport efficiency to the mainland. 42 FIBCs (bulky industrial bags) are now reduced to just three bales. Read more: https://orwak.com/news/baling-benefits-on-remote-islands/

A SMALL BALER IS A GREAT HELP
When you hear the word “compaction equipment” a vision of large machines occupying a big chunk of the floor space in your storeroom or warehouse may come to mind, but balers come in all shape and sizes!

One good example of how a small baler can be a great help, is this recent reference case, shared by Orwak Hungary, from one of their customer sites:
Previously, plastic film was collected in cages on the warehouse floor, disrupting daily workflows and taking up valuable space intended for merchandise. Now it is tossed directly into a COMPACT 3110 baler for compaction.

The results are immediate:
+ Waste removal costs and frequency have been minimized.
+ Premium floor space has been freed up for merchandise.
+ A unified, transparent waste management system is now in place.

CAMPSITE WASTE COMPACTION IN PEAK SEASON

For many, summer vacation is synonymous with camping. Feeling free, relaxed and being close to nature; the sea, a lake or excellent hiking trails in the forest or in the mountains. It is peak season for the camping business, but where a lot of tourists gather at one spot, waste management is a challenge. To deal with the waste streams camping sites benefit from waste separation and compaction solutions.

One successful example is Camp Šimuni, Croatia that solves the waste challenge with a combination of Orwak’s in-bin compactor FLEX 1100 for bagged mixed waste and the top loaded vertical baler Multi 9020S with 3 chambers for recyclables.

ORWAK BALERS TURN WASTE INTO VALUE AT PHX SKY HARBOR AIRPORT

PRODUCT LAUNCH: THROW & GO COMPACTION SOLUTION FOR BAGGED WASTE IN BINS

Orwak’s in-bin compactors FLEX 660/1100 – launched last year – are highly appreciated for their simplicity, effective compaction and effortless “roll in, roll out” concept.
