Partner with Greenbank Recycling Solutions to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and drive sustainability

Smarter Recycling for Distribution Centres

Distribution centres typically implement structured recycling programmes to manage the significant volume of packaging they produce, like cardboard packaging, food-grade plastics, polystyrene and textiles.

These programmes often include dedicated recycling zones, specialised equipment, and efficient partnerships with companies

Without the right systems in place, this material becomes costly, inefficient, and environmentally damaging. 

That’s where Greenbank Recycling Solutions comes in.

Since 1993, we’ve been helping businesses across the UK optimise their handling through tailored recycling solutions, high-performance machinery, and expert servicing.

As distribution centres continue to grow in scale and number, effective and efficient recycling management within these facilities is becoming increasingly essential to support sustainability goals and operational efficiency.

Solutions Designed for Distribution Centres

At Greenbank, we offer a full range of handling systems specifically suited to the needs of busy, high-throughput distribution hubs:

Balers

Efficiently compact cardboard and food packaging into recyclable bales. Our machines are designed for high-volume, high-performance environments, helping you save space and increase rebate potential. 

Greenbank offers large-scale balers, including fully automatic models, specifically designed to handle the high volumes of material generated by distribution centres. 

These balers can be equipped with additional features such as bin lifts, tippers, and conveyors to reduce manual handling and improve operational efficiency.

Compactors

Greenbank provides a wide selection of compactors to suit various business needs, including static, screw, portable, and polystyrene compactors. Whether you’re managing high volumes of recyclables, bulky materials, or wet waste, Greenbank offers efficient solutions to streamline and strengthen your recycling approach.

By compacting materials, it helps reduce overall volume, cutting down on disposal costs and collection frequency.

Portable Compactors:
Portable compactors are ideal for managing both dry and high-liquid-content waste. These mobile units are essential for efficient recycling and can be configured to suit different business needs. With user-friendly controls, they’re easy to operate and suitable for all staff levels.

Static Compactors:
Designed for straightforward and effective handling, static compactors are perfect for businesses dealing with recyclable materials like cardboard and plastics.

Static Screw Compactors:
Built for bulkier material, static screw compactors offer powerful compression to reduce volume, lower disposal costs, and support your environmental goals.

Polystyrene Compactors

Polystyrene compactors provide an efficient, low-maintenance solution for recycling Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), processing up to 220kg per hour. 

The machines operate automatically, breaking down and compacting loose EPS into dense, uniform blocks that are easy to store and transport.
