The Orwak baler COMPACT 3110 provides more efficient packaging waste management at the alpine hotel Špik in Slovenia. The staff is happy with the solution and comments; “the baler is easy to operate and maintain and we can recommend it without hesitation.”
Hotel Špik has a marvelous location in the idyllic village Gozd Martuljek in the Julian Alps in northern Slovenia. Surrounded by unspoiled Alpine nature with waterfalls and close to the popular mountain resort Kranjska Gora, adventure is just around the corner.
Outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking and river rafting attract visitors in all seasons and the modern full-service hotel Špik, with restaurant, indoor pool and relaxation facility, welcomes many guests all year round.
The entire offer of the resort is based on the unique and natural mountain world, emphasizing its sustainable character, and it is important to hotel Špik to care for the quality of life and to contribute to preserving the environment.
As a large accommodation and hospitality facility, hotel Špik deals on a daily basis with substantial amounts of paper and cardboard packaging and it needed a smart and sustainable waste solution.
Interzero, the Orwak distributor in Slovenia, recommended them the baler COMPACT 3110. Thanks to its small footprint, it does not require much space, but it has the right capacity for the task and efficiently compacts the empty packaging into neat bales.
Before Hotel Špik received the Orwak baler, all packaging waste was cut and folded manually, which took up a lot of extra time, and some packaging items were very difficult to handle.
The staff has set up a well organized workflow, so that all paper and cardboard packaging from each department at the hotel is now disposed of in the baler. The final step, tying the bales, is handled by the technical team. It is an efficient process and with this system the hotel has achieved:
- Easier handling of paper/cardboard packaging and less time spent on waste handling.
- Fewer waste pickups and transports thanks to the volume reduction of the recyclables, which also results in lower costs.
- A cleaner waste area thanks to the orderly bales.
A representative of the hotel comments:
»We are very satisfied with the Orwak baler at Hotel Špik Gozd Martuljek. It has been in use for more than two years now, and we have not had any technical issues. It is easy to operate and maintain and we can recommend it without any hesitation.«
