Challenges with strapping waste

Facilities, that frequently use packaging with plastic strapping, most likely experience the following problems:

That the material quickly fills vacant space in bins, which therefore must be changed on a regular basis
Accidents caused by the uncontrollable material – tripping accidents or accidents that involve trucks or equipment
How to dispose of the strapping waste properly

The Mil-tek solution: Store and Compact

Store the strapping waste in a plastic bag of durable material. When the bag needs emptying, put it in the baler, which will compact it with up to 90%. The dense bale can be sent on to a recycling facility, where the plastic strapping will be shredded and then washed to remove small contaminants. After these processes, the plastic can then be sold on and made into new plastic products.

Recycling plastic strapping matters

Plastic waste lingers in landfills for hundreds of years. Therefore, plastic strapping should, like all other plastic items, be recycled into new plastic products instead. Recycling plastic strapping lowers the need for fossil fuels to make new plastic, and in this way you make a sustainable effort if you dispose of the material properly.
