TURNING CARDBOARD WASTE INTO A RESOURCE<br />
In <strong>2022</strong>, <strong>Tailormade</strong> <strong>Logistics</strong> installed a baler at our Skaldenstraat site in Ghent.<br />
Cardboard gathered at the site through our reverse logistics processes was<br />
previously handled using a cardboard press. The press helps maximize the<br />
amount of cardboard in each container. Full containers were sent to a recycling<br />
facility. The recycling facility transforms the cardboard into large bales, which are<br />
sold to paper plants as a resource.<br />
By installing a baler on-site, we were able to shorten the process, which<br />
f Cuts back on the amount of transport and the associated CO 2<br />
emissions<br />
f No more transport from our site to the recycler<br />
f No more transport from the recycler to the cardboard<br />
manufacturer<br />
f Larger volumes of cardboard per transport<br />
f Transforms ‘waste’ into a resource<br />
f On a monthly basis, 200 tons of cardboard is collected, sorted, baled<br />
and transported to nearby paper plants to bring back into circulation.<br />
