Leading independent fruit and vegetable wholesaler John Palin (Wholesale) Ltd has become one of the latest firms to incorporate a Tony Team TT550 Baler into its business operation. As well as compacting paper and cardboard waste for the Derbyshire based company, the baler also provides an additional income for the wholesaler.
John Palin (Wholesale) Ltd’s considerable growth over recent years has meant that the volume of cardboard packaging it uses has increased dramatically. For both environmental and financial reasons, John Palin (Wholesale) Ltd, which has a turnover in excess of £11 million, decided that something had to be done about the waste.
The installation of Tony Team’s TT550 Baler has made sound business sense for the firm. By using this mill sized baler to reduce the volume of all packaging cardboard and office paper that can no longer be re-used, the company is able to save money and eliminate the potential hazard of using skips on site, and furthermore, is now generating an additional profit by selling the bales to paper and card recycling merchants.
The firm is now saving approximately £260 a month in skip hire fees and generating £400 a month in revenue from selling its baled card for recycling.
“The Tony Team Baler is a terrific piece of equipment - a company investment which is actually paying for itself,” said John Palin (Wholesale) Ltd director, David Newton. “Our waste storage is significantly improved and we are now also able to sell the mill sized cardboard bales for recycling. Incorporating the baler into our business practice has proved extremely beneficial for generating new business, as increasingly our customers require improved environmental credentials, with waste recycling being high on the agenda.”
