Generate value through a sustainable handling of used fish boxes
Manufacturers in the fish processing industries are often met by massive challenges by a wet and cold environment as well as a huge amount of used fish boxes that are dirty and difficult to handle in an economic and efficient way without putting a strain on the environment.
Over the years, KBM has developed an extensive range of efficient compaction machinery that makes the handling of used EPS packaging such as fish boxes economically viable. However, used fish boxes are rarely clean enough to be mixed back into the production of new Styrofoam packaging. Instead it is often possible to benefit from your used fish boxes through other recycling procedures.
On this website you can learn more about:
- How compaction of used fish boxes solves your handling problems
- How to gain value from your used fish boxes by recycling them into plastic
Furthermore, you can find out how to get in touch with KBM to learn more about how our solutions will allow you to secure a sustainable and efficient handling of your used fish boxes.
Minimize your transportation costs when handling used fish boxes
By using the KBM Styropactor for compaction or crushing of your used fish boxes the volume of the EPS packagings is drastically reduced by as much as thirty times. In return, this minimizes the subsequent transportations costs significantly while also solving the space-consuming task that handling used fish boxes is.
The Styropactor is available in four sizes with different capacities that match the needs of large scale fish processing companies as well as smaller supermarkets. To ensure optimum results all units are mobile and are made in a non-corrosive material that can sustain a rough environment. Furthermore, the units can compact any size of used EPS material as they are filled vertically.
Regain value from your used fish boxes by recycling them into plastic
As any other EPS material, fish boxes are a valuable material where you can regain some of your initial expenses by recycling the used packagings. While most EPS materials can be reused in the moulding of new EPS products with a profit of up to 90 percent, this is rarely possible with used fish boxes as they are simply not clean enough.
Instead, you can hand off the used fish boxes to recycling companies that have the proper facilities to extrude them into plastic. Thereby, they can be reused in general plastic products such as picture frames.
In most cases this will allow you to regain up to 20 percent of the fish boxes’ initial value. However, compaction of the used fish boxes will reduce the transportation costs allowing you to obtain the highest possible profit.
Do you want to know more?
By using the KBM machinery you can save a great amount of money on your transportation costs as our units can compact an entire load of fish boxes into hardly anything.
