Introduction: A Midwest café chain installs a compact vertical baler to manage cardboard and plastic waste, aligning with its sustainability targets.Body: The 11,000-lbs force baler produces 200-lb bales, reducing waste pickup frequency from 3x weekly to 1x weekly—saving $1,200/month. Baled materials are sold to local recyclers, adding $300/month in revenue. “It’s a win-win for our budget and the planet,” said the chain’s operations chief. The baler’s small footprint fits in back-of-house storage areas.Closing: The chain plans to roll out balers to 15 more locations by 2026.
