Less Transport More Money
When loose waste – such as empty cardboard boxes, other types of packaging, metal cans and various plastic bags – is transported for recycling or disposal such as landfill, the load usually contains more than 75 % air. Therefore, over time, huge sums of money are paid to transport mostly air from one location to another!
Reduced Transport Costs
- Less fuel and labor costs
- The greater value of highly compacted recyclable waste.
