Cardboard Waste
Cardboard is one of the most common waste streams produced by businesses, particularly in retail, warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing. While it’s fully recyclable, unflattened and uncompacted cardboard takes up excessive space in bins and skips, leading to higher collection costs and inefficient storage. Without the right equipment in place, managing cardboard waste can quickly become a drain on time, space, and budgets. Compacting at source is the most effective way to reduce volume, cut costs, and ensure that recyclable material stays clean and ready for processing.
Below, you'll find a selection of our machines suitable for various types and volumes of cardboard waste, helping you choose the right solution for your site.

Low and Medium Volume Options
For businesses handling low to medium volumes of cardboard, Bergmann Direct offers a choice of Rotary Compactors and Vertical Balers to streamline waste handling and maximise space. Our Rotary Compactors are ideal for sites with mixed or loose cardboard, compacting it into bags or 1100ltr bins with continuous feed capabilities — perfect for busy environments with limited space. For cleaner, dry cardboard waste, our Vertical Balers produce tidy, compact bales that are easy to stack, store, and transport. These bales attract rebates from recycling companies, providing a valuable return while keeping waste handling efficient and sustainable.

High Volume Options
For businesses generating high volumes of cardboard waste, Bergmann Direct offers a range of heavy duty solutions designed to maximise compaction, reduce transport costs, and streamline operations. The APB 1620 Portable Compactor is a powerful, enclosed unit ideal for sites that need flexibility and regular waste collections. It compacts large volumes of cardboard directly at the source and is collected via hook-lift, making it a convenient and hygienic option for busy distribution centres, manufacturers, and retailers.
In addition, Bergmann offers Screw Compactors, Static Compactors, and the innovative Roll Packer range for even greater compaction performance. Screw compactors continuously process cardboard, offering high compaction ratios and fast throughput, while static compactors are perfect for fixed site installations with bespoke options for integrated bin lifters or chutes. For exceptionally bulky cardboard waste, the Bergmann Roll Packer crushes material directly in large open containers using a rolling drum, dramatically reducing volume and allowing for fewer collections. These robust solutions are ideal for operations where space, efficiency, and cost savings are key priorities.
