Herko, a distributor of automotive parts for OEM and Aftermarket now treats their waste as an integrated part of the workflow. The placement of a Bramidan B5 W baler close to their waste source instantly optimized their waste handling solution both from a logistic and economic point of view.
“Our waste handling solution wasn’t optimal before we bought the baler. Our employees had to walk outside with the cardboard, which was time consuming and inefficient because we had the cardboard picked up every single week. Now, with the baler from Bramidan, the amount of pickups is reduced to once every month.” tells Nelsy Perez from Herko.
Large reduction in number of pick-ups
Before the purchase of a baler, Herko Automotive Group, generated around 70-90 kgs of cardboard a day and placed it in a 4-yard dumpster located in their parking lot. This solution was both time and space consuming, but with the use of a small baler, they minimized the distance from the waste source to the baler and reduced the number of pickups by the hauler. In short, Herko’s cardboard waste was picked up 2-3 times a week, while after the installation of a baler the number of pickups – now of cardboard bales - are reduced to once every second month, when 12 bales are ready.“Our waste handling solution wasn’t optimal before we bought the baler.
