BALERS FOR RECYCLING PLASTICIreland uses over X million tonnes of plastic a year, with plastic packaging accounting for approximately 35%. By sorting, baling and recycling plastic in a Mil-tek baler, you can reduce your waste costs by up to 80% and help protect the environment. Mil-tek’s unique method of constant pressure can reduce the volume of plastic to less than 10% of its original size. By using a Plastic Bag Stand to sort and store plastic packaging, low volumes of cardboard and plastic can be baled using one small footprint Mil-tek baler.
