Balers in the gastronomy sector - how to effectively solve a problem of waste

Common restaurant waste types

Restaurants generate significant waste, with several types that may pose health and environmental risks.

Restaurants are required to comply with regulations regarding waste management and the disposal of packaging.

Typically, restaurant waste consists of various types of used packaging, including cardboard and plastic. The latter is particularly problematic; if not recycled, it can persist in the environment for centuries. This underscores the importance of using balers in the catering industry to manage and recycle waste effectively.

At Bramidan, we are dedicated to providing reliable machinery that supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Waste management in the service industry

Why use a baler for compacting restaurant packaging?

Restaurants create food and packaging waste. Investing in balers can help compact cardboard, foil, plastic, and cans efficiently.

In addition to typical food leftovers for disposal, typically every restaurant generates large amounts of packaging. This includes both cardboard and foil, plastic and empty cans or PET bottles.

Benefits of balers:
