Here at CK International we have seen an increase in the demand for semi-automatic balers. 2020 saw huge changes in the makeup of waste streams and the way that companies process waste. With labour cost savings and increased commodity values, many businesses have found the semi-automatic baler to be the ideal solution for their business.

Each year, the UK fire and rescue services attend around 300 significant fires at waste sites. These fires cause huge environmental and financial damage not to mention the potential loss of life. Recently, several European manufacturers along with earthmoving company, Oosterveld, based in the Netherlands, collaborated to develop a unique waste compaction solution to help prevent these fires igniting.
