Retail Non-Food
The non-food retail market segment not only has to remove product packaging quickly to maintain clear access to shelves and display units, but also be very attentive to customers in order to help them make the right purchasing decisions. Here we look at the major needs that must be met in this market segment and steer selection of the most appropriate waste handling solutions based on compaction from Orwak.
Lack of Free Space
Non-food retailers strive to optimize their use of space in the most portable way. This usually means that shelves filled with products occupy the majority of the shopping area. Thus it is essential to keep the restricted space of aisles and passageways free from clutter at all times to allow free movement of shoppers and staff.
Huge Volumes of Diverse Waste
The vast range of products stocked by non-food stores gives rise to many different types of waste packaging. Moreover, as shelves and display units are constantly restocked, a continuous stream of packaging must be removed during the day.
Customers Need Much Attention
Customers who intend to purchase items like clothes, household goods and mobile telephones often need guidance in selecting the most suitable product. This means that retail personnel may spend just as much time in advising customers as they do in cashier work.
Many System Users
Several staff members constantly fill shelves and many outside suppliers visit retailers regularly to restock their own display units, all of whom take their waste to the installed baler and fill it. Therefore a baler must be very easy to operate to allow different people to use it without difficulty.
Valuable Goods
As many non-food products are valuable and represent a huge financial investment, maximum security must be maintained around the clock to prevent theft in the workplace.
Maximizing Profit
Whatever means are used to help sell products and handle the resulting waste, they must contribute to maximizing overall profitability of an organization. Thus both the income from recyclable material and the reduction of fees for waste disposal must also be maximized.
The features and benefits of Orwak`s extensive range of baling systems incorporating unequalled compaction technology more than meet the challenges presented by the non-food retail market segment.
Keeping Spaces Clear
Orwak balers rapidly minimize the volume of waste material to help keep aisles and passageways free from clutter, thereby promoting unhindered and rapid movement around shopping and working areas. Moreover, high-density bales require much less storage space than piles of loose waste, and the small footprint of all Orwak systems ensures that they take up little floors pace.
Versatile Compaction
The robust construction of Orwak balers allows them to effectively compact a diverse range of materials such as cardboard boxes, paper packaging, bags of general waste, plastic film, and steel and plastic bands. Sorting of waste at source is facilitated by our multichamber balers to produce compact waste for both recycling and disposal.
Less Handling
The high-density waste produced by Orwak systems entails much less waste handling in the workplace compared with that needed to remove widespread loose waste. Thus sales personnel have more time to concentrate on core activities like responding to customer enquiries.
Safe, Easy-To-Use Systems
An important feature of all Orwak waste handling systems is that they are very safe and easy to operate. Thus both retailer staff and external suppliers become quickly familiar with using an Orwak baler and can rely on its smooth running and safety.
More Security
Volume reduction helps to minimize theft by producing compact waste that cannot be used to hide stolen goods and by preventing illegal entry by minimizing the opening of outer doors to remove waste.
Generating and Saving Money
Investing in an Orwak baling system is portable. Highly compacted waste means fewer container pickups, and sorting at source yields a higher quality of waste material for recycling that is readily accepted. Sorting also leads to less waste for disposal, thus reducing disposal fees. Generating and saving money in this way leads to rapid system payback and achieving the best total waste handling economy. The powerful forces used in waste compaction demand the use of very tough materials, durable components and dedicated system design - all of which are built into each Orwak system to achieve long product lifecycle and maximal uptime. High-performance systems combined with the most extensive range of products on the market make Orwak a natural partner for satisfying your waste handling needs.
