Separating waste at the source is one of the most effective ways to reduce landfill costs, lower your carbon footprint, and unlock hidden value through rebates. At Bergmann Direct, we provide machinery tailored to specific waste streams to help organisations manage their waste more efficiently and sustainably. Recyclable materials such as cardboard, plastic, metal, and EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) can attract rebates when properly sorted and compacted — turning what was once waste disposal cost into a revenue stream. By investing in the right equipment, you can not only cut waste disposal costs but also contribute meaningfully to your environmental targets.
We supply robust, proven machinery for eight key waste streams: wood, food, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, EPS, and general waste. Whether it’s compactors for general waste, balers for recyclable cardboard and plastic, or specialist crushers for glass and metal, each solution is designed to improve handling and reduce the volume of material being stored or transported. For high-volume generators of EPS or metal, the benefits are even greater — high compaction ratios and rebate values can quickly justify the investment in machinery. Cardboard and plastic are also high on the rebate scale when clean and properly baled, with market rates offering a return that many businesses overlook.
Bergmann Direct has been trusted across the UK for over 30 years, supplying waste handling equipment to a wide range of sectors. Our customers include multinational corporations, NHS Trusts, the prison service, universities, manufacturers, retailers, and facilities management providers. We understand the varying demands of each industry and bring deep knowledge of both regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Whether you're running a hospital, a logistics hub, or a food production facility, our team works closely with you to recommend the right solution for your site, budget, and sustainability goals.
Our expertise in these waste types ensures we can offer the right advice and the best-fit machine for each material. Wood waste can be shredded for easier disposal or repurposing, and even general waste can be significantly reduced in volume to save on transport and skip charges. With every machine we supply, we aim to simplify waste management, reduce your environmental impact, and help you realise the financial and operational benefits of smart waste segregation.
