Basically you're losing floor space because loose cardboard and plastic just take up way too much room, and it's a pain to get any decent price from recyclers when it's not compacted.
We've been making these for years and what they do is handle that problem dead simple—you feed teh materail in, it cycles automatically, and out comes a dense bale that actually stacks neatly, usually in around 3 to 18 bales an hour depending on which model you pick.

The hydraulic power runs from about 2 ton up to 50 ton depending on what you're compressing, and most buyers go with the 10 or 20 ton for general mixed waste. Bale sizes run from 590mm to 1700mm (customizable) and it's CE certified, though I'd check lead time for non-standerd sizes.

We usually have stock on the common models but confirm lead time if you need something under 30 days—anything with a bale size over 1200mm or a power above 37KW might run 4 weeks or so.

One thing nobody asks until they've got the machine: the warranty is 1 year but spare parts (seals, valves, filters) aren't covered, so budget for that. this isn't suited for wet materials unless you get stainless steel chamber option with the liquid tray, which we don't always stock.
Bulk pricing is avaliable if you need 3 units or more, but the per-unit discount only really kicks in past 5. The 5L hydraulic oil drum included with each machine is actually enough for about 40 cycles before you need a top-up—fyi, most buyers don't think to order extra oil upfront.
Yes, bale size is customizable within that range, but we'll need your exact dimensions to confirm the setup. Just let us know what you need.
Lead time varies by configuration, but typically 15-30 days for a standard 50-ton unit. Customizations might add a few days.
Absolutely, every LB Series baler ships with the CE certificate included. We'll also supply the test reports if your compliance team needs them.
The warranty covers the main machine and hydraulic system, but not consumables like seals, hoses, or filters. Those are considered normal wear items.
It's designed for one material type per bale, but you can switch between cardboard, paper, plastic, or textiles between cycles—just adjust the pressure settings accordingly.
