Paper Recycling Systems — Waste Not, Want Money

Oftentimes printers do not look at paper scraps with dollar signs in their retinas—and that’s a mistake, contends Mike Connell, sales manager for Balemaster. Printers often overlook the benefits of recycling waste paper, he says. “Dealing with waste is generally considered a nuisance or necessary evil, but printers that implement a good recycling program often create a profit center. Baled waste paper can fetch between $75 and $150 per ton.”
