FAQs

Why compact corrugate instead of leaving it loose?
Compacting reduces volume, making storage and transport more efficient while increasing the material’s resale value.

Does compacting improve recyclability?
Yes. Compacting helps keep corrugate clean and organized, which improves processing and reduces contamination risks.

What equipment is needed for compacting corrugate?
Balers and compactors designed for corrugated materials are the most effective solutions for achieving high-density bundles.
