What’s The ROI On Your Baler?

In 2013, Greenbank installed one of our HPK 50 fully automatic channel balers at a site in Newark. Since then, it has created over 32,000 bales, equivalent of 15,000 tons of cardboard.

Currently, the average price of a cardboard ton is around £100 – £122. However, it’s important to mention that during the summer months, the average price per ton of cardboard was considerably higher, reaching £143 in July.

Now for the fun part…

15,000 (tons) x £90 (conservative cardboard price) = £1,350,000 in just four years.

Impressive? Not bad for a baler that retails at just £129,000. This gives a return on investment in just 4.6 months.

At Greenbank, we offer a wide range of balers, from vertical balers and semi-automatic to our fully automatic balers.

Our automatic balers are designed to make heavy-duty, high-density bales for maximum payloads of recyclables such as paper, cardboard and plastic.
