Waste Management for Logistics & Warehousing
Discover how smarter waste management helps logistics and warehousing businesses reduce handling costs, free up storage space and improve operational efficiency.
Logistics waste management
Logistics centres and warehouses generate large volumes of cardboard, plastic and packaging waste every day. Without efficient handling, this waste can take up valuable space, disrupt workflows and increase operating costs.
Mil-tek balers and compactors reduce waste volume at the source, minimise unnecessary handling and help keep warehouses and distribution centres organised and efficient.
How packaging waste increases logistics costs
Cardboard, plastic film and packaging waste can quickly accumulate around packing stations, loading docks and warehouse aisles.
Frequent waste transport, overflowing containers and unnecessary handling take time away from daily operations, increase costs and reduce available storage space.
📌 Waste that isn’t handled efficiently leads to delays, higher costs, and wasted space – and quietly drain annual revenue.
How to improve waste handling in warehouses
Efficient warehouse waste management starts by handling waste where it is generated. Placing balers and compactors near packing stations, loading docks and sorting areas reduces unnecessary transport and keeps operations moving.
Key benefits of compacting waste at the source include:
- Reduce waste volume by up to 90%
- Minimise internal waste transport
- Free up valuable warehouse space
- Save staff time on waste handling
- Improve recycling and waste collection efficiency

Horizontal baler in action at a logistics centre
This logistics centre generates up to 40 cages of cardboard waste daily, previously requiring a full-time operator to manage it.
With Mil-tek’s E819 horizontal baler, up to 20 cages of cardboard can be compacted before bale-out, significantly reducing manual handling and keeping warehouse aisles clear.
Automated waste handling for logistics
Add a conveyor to the E819, and packaging waste can flow directly from the packing line into the machine. No manual handling, no delays.
Perfect for high-throughput logistics hubs and busy distribution centres, it’s a smart way to save time, reclaim space, and reduce operating costs.
Polystyrene waste management in warehouses
Bulky polystyrene packaging can quickly fill warehouse storage areas and increase transport costs. Mil-tek polystyrene compactors reduce EPS waste volume by up to 40:1, creating dense, recyclable blocks that are easier to store and transport.
