Landstólpi ehf., a family-run company established in 2000, has become a cornerstone machine supplier in the Icelandic agricultural sector. Landstólpi has carved out a reputation in Iceland for excellence through its four main divisions: building, service, feed, and forge, where in-house production takes place. Their commitment to quality and innovation has driven them to seek out partnerships that enhance their offerings, one of the most notable being with LSM for farm plastic baler solutions.

Landstólpi first encountered LSM machines at prominent agricultural fairs like Euro Tier and Agritechnica. Impressed by the simplicity and efficiency of the LSM Waste Baler machines, Landstólpi saw an opportunity to bring significant improvements to their Icelandic farming clients’ operations, particularly around plastic waste recycling.

Serving Farmers Focused on Plastic Recycling Solutions

Landstólpi primarily serves farmers who are increasingly conscious of the need to recycle plastic waste. These farmers not only aim to improve their environmental footprint but also seek ways to simplify their daily tasks. By incorporating LSM balers and compactors into their operations, these farmers can efficiently manage plastic waste, turning a cumbersome task into a streamlined process.

“We were immediately impressed by the simplicity and efficiency of LSM machines. They have significantly improved our clients’ recycling processes.”

Addressing Agricultural Plastic Waste Recycling Challenges

The primary challenge faced by Landstólpi’s clients was the effective recycling of agricultural plastic waste. Traditional methods were often labour-intensive and inefficient. To tackle this, Landstólpi introduced LSM’s V5 Small Baler and V8 Mid-Size balers, known for their robust performance and ease of use.

The LSM V5 Waste Baler offers an economical waste baling solution for small and medium-sized businesses with consistent waste types and amounts. With automatic and manual bale cycles and LSM’s easy-tie system, the V5 makes quick work of cardboard, plastic, textile, paper, polystyrene and food waste.

The LSM V8 Mid-Size Baler is one of the most popular baler machines LSM manufacture as it has the footprint of a standard euro pallet and is suitable for baling cardboard, plastic, textile, paper, polystyrene and food waste.

Every year, over 1,175,000 tons of agri-plastic wastes are generated across Europe, highlighting the critical need for efficient recycling baler solutions for farm plastic. Farmers in Iceland using LSM machines have reported significant improvements in their recycling processes, leading to better returns on investment. As a result, Landstólpi ensures that these LSM machines are always in stock to meet the growing demand.

“Introducing LSM’s V5 and V8 compressors has been a game-changer for our farming clients”
