OCC, mixed paper & wood
The highest-volume streams on most sites, and the ones most likely to be running on an arrangement nobody has looked at in years. Volume is what makes them worth revisiting: small improvements repeat every week.
Where it can go
Each route below is assessed and ruled out before the next is considered. Disposal is what remains after that, not where the conversation starts.
Damaged pallets repaired and returned to service, or sold into the reuse market, before anything is ground.
Baled OCC and sorted paper grades placed with paper mills rather than through an intermediary.
Clean wood ground to mulch, animal bedding or landscape product.
Wood with no higher use placed as boiler fuel at permitted facilities.
Disposal for material that is wet, contaminated or treated beyond recovery, with the reason recorded.
What KODA handles
The outlet is chosen on the material's merits, not on what is convenient. Every option is weighed against what the stream actually is, what it is worth and what documentation it has to produce — and the reasoning is shown to you, not summarized.
Common in
Distribution and warehousing, retail, manufacturing, food and beverage, and commercial facilities.
One stream is a complete engagementThis can be handled on its own, at one site, with no requirement to move anything else to KODA. It can also run as part of a full portfolio. The scope is yours to set and can change in either direction.
Questions
Almost always, on two counts: separated OCC has a market, and removing it reduces what you pay to dispose of the rest. The operational question is whether the floor space and labor work at your site, which is part of the review.
Repair is evaluated first, because a repaired pallet is worth more than ground wood. What cannot be repaired is ground for mulch, bedding or fuel.
Not necessarily. Equipment is evaluated against actual volume, and loose collection is sometimes the better answer. Where a baler does pay, we coordinate it rather than requiring you to buy one.
