Become your own recycler.

GreenAccess can yield significant revenues for the printer by enabling the print shop to become its own recycler.  GreenAccess will evaluate a shop, assess its material handling needs and install any needed recycling equipment (shredders, balers, compactors, etc.) at no up-front cost.  Instead, we charge a low flat fee per pound to handle the scrap.  Currently, GreenAccess handles over a million tons of paper each year nationwide.  This allows us to create competition between the mills, ensuring maximum value for your paper.  GreenAccess also coordinates pickup and delivery of the recycled scrap between the printer and the mill.  All fees and the cost of the recycling system are deducted from the increase waste revenue.

In House Baling vs. Loose Paper

BALING PROS

•  Verification of paper weight: We suggest weighing every bale, which makes it easy to verify that you are getting paid for every pound you ship.

•  Less material handling: With automated pick-ups at your stitcher, folder, cutters, die cutter and other production stations, you will recognize significant increases in productivity. We can design a program tailored to fit your paper handling in order to maximize productivity.

• Shipping mill direct: By eliminating all added handling expenses, you become the recycler rather than sharing your revenue with a recycler.

LOOSE PAPER CONS

• Incorrect Tonnage: There is no guarantee you are getting paid for the correct amount of tonnage. A slight reduction of weight over the course of a year can yield much lower returns.

• Wasted Space: Multiple carts throughout the shop filled with waste are cumbersome and take up needed space for workflow. In addition to space issues, handling loose paper requires an extra employee to shuffle paper and stops progress during the removal of waste from equipment.

• Extra Cost: Removing the waste from your facility, trucking it back to a recycling center, and then baling for shipment to the mill costs money. These added costs greatly reduce the potential return for your paper.

• Increased Revenue: With in-house baling, you have the flexibility of sorting different types of paper. This gives you the ability to generate higher revenues for more desirable paper types.

COMPACTING CONS

• Incorrect Tonnage: There is no guarantee you are getting paid for the correct amount of tonnage. A slight reduction in weight over the course of a year can yield much lower returns.

• Wasted Space: Multiple carts throughout the shop filled with waste are cumbersome and take up needed space for workflow. In addition to space issues, handling loose paper requires an extra employee to shuffle paper and stops progress during the removal of waste from equipment.

• Extra Cost: Removing the waste from your facility, trucking it back to a recycling center, and then baling for shipment to the mill costs money. These added costs greatly reduce the potential return for your paper.

• Loss of Revenue: With compacting, it is difficult to separate good paper from bad. You will be paid for the lowest grade of paper in that particular shipment. This can cost you thousands of dollars over the course of a year.
