Smarter Waste Solutions: Why Multi-Chamber Balers Could Be the Game-Changer for Your Business

Check out our LinkedIn for live updates

Published: 06/10/2025


Most businesses produce more recyclable waste than they realise — from cardboard boxes and shrink wrap to paper, cans, and even foam packaging. Yet all too often, these materials end up mixed together, quickly filling bins and increasing collection costs.

That’s where multi-chamber balers come in. At Flame UK, we’re helping more and more clients discover how these machines can simplify recycling, reduce costs, and support compliance with the Simpler Recycling legislation.

Who is responsible for invoicing?

A baler compresses loose recyclables into compact, stackable bales, making them easier to store, transport, and recycle. A multi-chamber baler takes this one step further — allowing you to separate and compact multiple waste streams at once.

For example, you could have cardboard in one chamber, plastic film in another, and aluminium cans in a third, all processed in a single machine.

This setup helps businesses:

  • Simplify their waste management process without sacrificing efficiency.
  • Keep recyclables clean and separate at source.
  • Eliminate the need for multiple machines or overflowing bins.

Stay Compliant. Save Money. Cut Carbon.

Multi-chamber balers help you manage multiple waste streams efficiently, generate recycling revenue, and stay ahead of new legislation.

Supporting Compliance with Simpler Recycling

With the government’s Simpler Recycling legislation rolling out, all businesses will soon be required to separate recyclable materials at source.

For many organisations, this can seem like a logistical challenge — how to separate waste effectively without cluttering up the workspace?

A multi-chamber baler provides the perfect solution. Each chamber can be assigned to a specific waste stream, ensuring compliance while keeping operations smooth and tidy. Once compacted, recyclables are stored as neat, stackable bales ready for collection — helping your business stay efficient, compliant, and environmentally responsible.

The Benefits of a Multi-Chamber Baler

  • Space Saving & Efficient – One machine handles multiple waste streams, reducing clutter and simplifying operations.
  • Time Saving – While one chamber is compacting, another can be loaded — minimising downtime.
  • Cost Saving – Dense bales reduce the number of collections required, lowering transport fees.
  • Revenue Generation – Clean, separated recyclables have a higher resale value, turning waste into a potential profit.
  • Carbon Reduction – Fewer waste collections mean fewer vehicle journeys, reducing emissions.
  • Scalable Design – With up to six chambers, the system grows as your recycling needs expand.
  • Compliance Ready – Designed to support upcoming recycling regulations, including Simpler Recycling.

Flame UK’s Multi-Chamber Baler Range

We offer two flexible models to suit businesses of all sizes:

FL 75 – A compact and efficient option for smaller spaces. Produces bales of around 75kg, making it ideal for sites with moderate waste volumes.

FL 200 – A powerful, high-capacity baler producing bales up to 200kg, perfect for larger or busier operations generating significant recyclable waste.

Both models are modular, allowing you to add up to six chambers as your recycling needs grow — offering a future-proof, scalable solution.

Turning Waste into Opportunity

Imagine a busy warehouse handling cardboard, shrink wrap, and cans. Without a multi-chamber baler, these waste streams either mix together or require multiple bins and collections. With a Flame UK multi-chamber baler, everything is sorted, compacted, and stored efficiently on site — reducing volume, increasing recycling value, and cutting your carbon footprint.

The result?

  • Less waste clutter
  • Fewer collections
  • Cleaner recycling streams
  • Full legal compliance
  • A new revenue opportunity from materials that used to cost money to dispose of
