ORWAK POWER BALERS SAVE UK CUSTOMER ABOUT £210,000
What began as a challenge to reduce waste costs evolved into a complete operational transformation. Through implementation of two Orwak Power 3820 balers leading to smarter waste handling and improved recycling processes, furniture manufacturer and online retailer Sonno Group Limited in the UK successfully reduced costs, improved efficiency, freed up valuable space, and created a sustainable new source of revenue from recyclable materials.

The production generates significant volumes of plastic and cardboard waste and the objective was clear, to find a more efficient and sustainable waste management solution.

Orwak Easi UK Ltd first offered a two-week trial, which resulted in a profitable baling solution with estimated annual savings of about £210,000 for the customer! Read more: https://orwak.com/news/power-balers-save-uk-customer-about-210000/

Orwak entered Japan in the 90s, it quickly developed into an important market and Orwak even received the Japan Export Trade Award in year 2000 for its efforts.

What if you could just throw it in, press start and walk away? 🤔💭

Orwak’s in-bin compactors FLEX 660/1100 are highly appreciated for their simplicity and effective compaction. They are ideal for volume reduction of bagged general waste, and with Throw & Go, we offer an even more automated solution.

Just dispose of the bags, push the start button and walk away! Compaction starts, and the machine will be ready for another load when you return. Less time spent handling waste, more time for your business!

HORIZONTAL BALER OPTIMIZES WASTE STREAMS IN A MODERN LOGISTICS CENTER IN VILNIUS
IKI is one of the largest grocery store chains in Lithuania and one of the most recognizable brands in the country, operating over 245 stores nationwide. Over the years, Orwak’s distributor UAB Strapas has installed more than 170 vertical balers in the stores and furthermore a high-capacity horizontal baler in the IKI Lietuva logistics center in Vilnius. The fully automated horizontal baler provides an effective, profitable and sustainable packaging waste management solution well adapted to the high degree of automation in a modern logistics center.

Large volumes of packaging material, mainly cardboard and plastic film, accumulate when groceries are repacked but the horizontal baler turns 200 tons of recyclables a year into mill-size bales for recycling.

A lot can be gained by a horizontal baler investment:
✅ Automated & continuous workflow
✅ Productive use of time
✅ Significant space savings
✅ Maximize truck payloads
✅ Increased recycling rate
✅ New revenue streams when selling mill-sized bales
