Each year, the world produces up to 2 billion tonnes of waste. Unfortunately, most of it finds its way to unprotected areas, such as our natural landscapes and even the ocean. Producing this amount of waste and dumping it illegally is unsustainable. Why does this happen? Usually, the answer is simple, many businesses don't know how to store waste properly, much less dispose of it. Read on to hear the harrowing truth about our oceans and how you can help save them.
The Truth about Marine Waste
Marine waste is any pollution that is man-made that finds its way to an ocean. Currently, researchers have estimated that there are more than 5 trillion pieces of plastic floating around in our ocean. Around 269,000 tonnes of this garbage floats and the rest sinks down to the bottom of the sea.
What makes it so difficult to clean up is that each piece is not interconnected with another. They aren't baled together and as a result, rogue pieces float off and create havoc in our waters. These pieces of debris drift off and land on our shores, further polluting our lands and causing billions of dollars worth of damage to our natural habitats.
This armada of waste is destroying both the Earth and the businesses directly affected by its existence. Most companies don't mind dumping their trash in the ocean because they don't have enough space to economically transport it all to the dump. This is where a marine garbage compactor can help.
What is a Marine Trash Compactor (Marine Garbage Compactor)?
A marine trash compactor (marine garbage compactor) is pretty much a marine baler by another name. Although, its focus is geared toward compacting traditional waste and not necessarily material that can be recycled. They are easy to use, easy to install, and surprisingly able to fit into even the most unorthodox positions.
You may be wondering, "Why would I purchase a marine trash compactor if I won't be able to recycle any of the waste bales that are generated from it?". It is a good question but a bit shortsighted. The reason for purchasing a marine trash compactor is to optimize your current operations. While the bales themselves won't be exchanged for money, the rewards gained by having an optimized system will make up for it.
No longer will you have to decline extra material due to not having enough room. The waste will be compacted and your earning potential will expand to fill the void. In fact, anything placed into the Makabale marine trash compactor will be compressed by up to 92%. That means you will have a lot of times higher earnings potential than before.
