Plastic Balers for Efficient Waste Handling
Compress the Plastic Waste and Create Savings
In many businesses, plastic waste quickly piles up. This leads to clutter, higher transport costs, and wasted storage space.
A plastic baler solves this by compressing the material into neat, dense bales. This plastic compaction reduces volume by up to 90%, making the waste easier to handle, store, and recycle. You get cleaner work areas, fewer waste collections, and real savings — while also supporting ESG.

Benefits of a Plastic Baler
- More space: Plastic waste is often bulky and unmanageable. A plastic baler reduces the volume by up to 90%, freeing up valuable floor space in the warehouse, back room, or at the production line.
- Lower costs: By compacting the plastic waste, the need for containers and pickups is minimized. This reduces your disposal expenses and enables you to sell the compact bales for recycling – especially for clean and sorted plastic.
- Safe waste handling: Plastic on the floor can create clutter and pose a safety risk. With a plastic baler, the waste is kept together, keeping work areas clean, organized, and safer. You also eliminate the manual labor of cutting plastic into pieces.
- Efficient waste handling and mandatory sorting: A plastic baler helps you sort correctly and handle waste efficiently – including meeting documentation requirements and environmental conditions such as CSRD reporting or ESG initiatives.
- Waste monitoring: Make your machines even smarter with BRA-IN – Bramidan’s IoT platform that provides real-time insights into your waste data. With remote support, notifications, and automatic status updates, it becomes easier to optimize and minimize both costs and CO2 emissions.

Function and Use of a Plastic Baler
The primary function of the plastic baler is to transform loose and unwieldy plastic waste into compact bales. This is achieved through an efficient press cycle, where a hydraulic press plate compresses the material in a closed chamber.
Plastic balers are used in a wide range of industries – including industrial, logistics, retail, and food production – where plastic constitutes a significant portion of the waste volume. By installing a plastic baler close to where the waste is generated, you can streamline your internal workflows and avoid unnecessary transportation around the building.

FAQ: Most Common Questions & Answers
Companies with a lot of plastic packaging – such as plastic film, stretch film, big bags, or plastic crates – often face challenges with storage and disposal. If the quantities are large and the waste accumulates quickly, a waste compactor is the right solution. It can compress large amounts of loose plastic directly into the container and minimizes the need for frequent pickups.
For smaller to medium amounts of plastic, we recommend a baler instead, which compresses the plastic into compact bales.
If you have large quantities of plastic waste such as plastic film, stretch film, big bags, or plastic pallets in your company, you should consider a professional waste solution. At Bramidan, we typically recommend:
- Compactor: Ideal for companies with a lot of plastic waste. Compacts large quantities directly into a container, reducing the number of emptying cycles and saving on transportation costs.
- Baler: Suitable if you want to separate the plastic and sell it as recyclable material. It compresses the plastic into compact bales that are easy to store and handle.
The choice depends on the type of waste, quantity, and where the waste is generated in the company. We offer free advice and a tailored solution.
Yes, you can easily use the same machine for both waste types, but not at the same time. We suggest making separate bales of solely cardboard or plastic.
While you are baling cardboard, collect and sort soft plastic waste, like shrink wrap. Once you tied off and ejected the cardboard bale, begin to make the plastic bale.
In the United States, businesses must comply with federal, state, and local regulations regarding plastic waste handling. This often includes source separation of recyclable plastics, proper storage, and documentation for waste tracking and reporting.
- A baler makes it easier to sort and document recyclable plastic fractions such as film, wrap, and PET bottles.
- A compactor is ideal for managing high volumes of mixed plastic waste, helping you stay compliant with storage and collection requirements.
At Bramidan, we help companies across the U.S. choose the right equipment and implement compliant, efficient waste handling setups that meet applicable regulations and reduce operational challenges.
Soft plastic can be compacted in all of our vertical balers. The volume and shape of your material will help to determine the machine that is right for you.
A variety of products contain soft plastic recylable material. The most common types are plastic wrappers, stretch film and shrink wrap for goods delivered on pallets, soft carrier bags, and bin liners.
The better sorted the material, the higher the purity; and possibly the value as well.
You can save money in several ways – and the choice of machine is crucial:
- A baler reduces volume and enables the sale of sorted plastic waste as recyclable material. At the same time, fewer collections are required.
- A compactor significantly reduces transportation costs by consolidating large amounts of loose waste into fewer containers.
Both solutions free up space and provide a more efficient waste flow.
