E-Commerce and Fulfilment

Waste packaging collection solutions for e-commerce, third party logistics and fulfilment facilities.

Industry Overview

Impact’s Film Vacuum System waste packaging removal system can be implemented into a wide variety of processes to remove plastic bags, plastic packing film and backing strips from a production or reverse logistics environment, to keep the working area clean and tidy, baling the plastics for recycling.

The packing/unpacking process can generate large quantities of plastic packaging materials which are typically handled manually, taking up valuable warehouse space and time to process the material. The Impact FilmVac System consists of return air hoods that are situated above the workstation, in reach of the packer, so that flexible packaging can be offered up to the FilmVac hood, which is then sucked away and conveyed to the baler.

Many facilities within the waste management and commercial laundry sectors (see images below) are already utilising the Film Vacuum System solution at various locations around the world and praise its ability to handle the plastic material effectively and seamlessly.

We pride ourselves in delivering a bespoke system to work within any facility. Contact our technical sales team to discuss your requirements.

Film Vacuum System in the USA

We installed a range of recyclable material recovery solutions at a waste management facility in Texas, USA. The FilmVac solution was installed to remove the plastic film and bags from the waste stream.

Once collected by the hoods located above the conveyor, the plastic is then conveyed to a screw compactor and baled into manageable ‘sausage’ like bales for recycling, resulting in plastic free waste stream which can then be further processed.
