Without question the most obvious advantage of a briquetting system is the significant

volume of waste reduction and the immediate savings in disposal cost. In the case of paper,

it’s not uncommon to see waste volume reduced by 90%. Other benefits include:

• Reduced transportation costs
• Improved housekeeping due to the elimination of dust and paper shreds
• Reduced danger of combustion versus loose waste -Can be an alternative to certain fire prevention measures
• Briquettes have secondary value as heating source -Sell your waste rather than pay for it to be removed
• Briquetted, disintegrated classified waste can be handled by paper mills and has true recycling value
