New Baler Investment at TCB-Arrow Brings us Closer to our Zero Landfill Goal

Nina Patel • Dec 13, 2022

In our efforts to manufacture more sustainably, we’ve got a new baler for our facility at TCB-Arrow.


New Orwak baler at TCB Arrow

 Following our installation of solar panels earlier this year, we’ve been considering how to go further with our green manufacturing. This has led to the selection and purchase of our new baler from Orwak.


This has been to aid our recycling of cardboard waste, which is something we get through a lot of as a manufacturing facility. We chose the
Orwak 3420, which produces 26 tonnes and has a cycle time of only 24 seconds!


This mighty machine is making a huge impact at TCB-Arrow, as we’re finding it easier than ever to compress and dispose of our cardboard waste for recycling.



At TCB-Arrow, we’re constantly striving to have a cleaner and greener approach to manufacturing. Get in touch with our team to find out more.

Read our blog to find out the benefits of plastics in manufacturing.

Plastics are an essential material for manufacturing millions of parts, components and products.

Here are three popular additives which serve different purposes in plastic production.
