Baler frees up 50% more space at Norauto

“Our previous treatment solution was greedy on space – and costly,” explains Caroline, Waste Treatment Manager. “We were leasing a big container to treat our mixed waste, and we didn’t really have an effective sorting system. There was no compaction of cardboard, and we only had complex working routines when handling waste. On top of the leasing costs, we had collection and treatment expenses.” Now, sorting is better organised, with a small skip for scrap metal and another for different waste.

Installed behind the shop, the baler is used for cardboard waste only. It takes up 50% less space than the previous container and it offers enhanced effectiveness and efficiency.

“After only ten days’ use, we have produced three bales of 250-300 kg each, which is almost a hundred kilos a day,” says Caroline. “The frequency of collection is yet to be determined, but once every five or six weeks should be sufficient – which will contribute to lowering costs, as well as reducing our personnel’s daily workload.”
