Plastics & Packaging Film Waste Balers & Compactors

Streamline plastic film, shrink wrap, thermoformed plastic and packaging waste with Kenburn’s specialist balers for warehousing, manufacturing and e-commerce. Free site audit.
Tidy sites, reduced collections and optimised recycling built for plastic-heavy operations. Plastic packaging film, shrink wrap, pallet wrap and light plastics from deliveries, production and returns create bulky, awkward waste that clogs bins, blocks space and increases handling costs. Kenburn’s plastic balers and compactors compress these streams by up to 90%, producing dense bales or loads for easier storage, transport and higher recycling value.

Testimonials

Charlotte Griffin

A fantastic company and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

The Jyates

Absolutely great service.
We purchased a reconditioned cardboard baler and the machine has been completely overhauled with new electricals and components. Gordon and Jane have been excellent to deal with all the way through.
Now making money out of cardboard which we used to pay to dispose of. Win! Thanks for all your advice and help.

O M

Was easy to contact business, I was given a few options and explanations of how each service would work so I could make a decision in an industry I didnt know much about. Very professional and friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. If you are a business that is getting rid of alot of waste I would recommend speaking to Kenburn for advice.

Ahmad D. Bozorgy

Our company has used Kenburn for over 10 years and I myself have been dealing with them for the last 5 years. They are very responsive, polite and caring about their customers. Their prices have been fair and I think competitive. The jobs they do have been professional and did not need repeating. I will continue having business with them.
