Your Guide to Cardboard Balers & Plastic Balers for Supermarkets & Grocery Stores

Supermarkets and grocery stores receive a constant stream of deliveries, and with it comes a huge volume of corrugated cardboard and plastic. If not managed, cardboard waste, along with plastic wrapping and other recyclable waste can easily take over warehouse space, costing money and creating chaos.

Recycling balers, such as cardboard balers and plastic balers, make it easy to handle recycling waste and focus on what matters most: getting perishables and other food products to shelves in ideal condition.

Why should waste balers be an important part of your business? Here’s why supermarkets and grocery stores work with LSM.
