All they need to do is look at the facts.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, a new free \u201cGuide to Calculate Savings from Waste Disposal &amp;\u00a0<a title=\"Recycling Equipment\" href=\"http:\/\/www.environmental-expert.com\/articles\/keyword-recycling-equipment-968\" target=\"_blank\">Recycling Equipment<\/a>\u201d is now available for companies &amp; organizations to determine the specific dollar impact on their operations. Unlike anything else available, it provides a practical tool for companies to determine for themselves whether it would be an economically wise decision\u201c based on facts, rather than on opinions or prejudgments.<\/p>\n<p>Currently there is considerable debate within the business community on whether it is worthwhile to invest in such equipment (e,g.\u00a0<a title=\"balers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.environmental-expert.com\/articles\/keyword-balers-732\" target=\"_blank\">balers<\/a>, compactors &amp;\u00a0<a title=\"crushers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.environmental-expert.com\/articles\/keyword-crushers-9636\" target=\"_blank\">crushers<\/a>). Many feel that compacting wastes &amp; recycling is just an additional cost burden and therefore is not worth the time or expense to pursue.<\/p>\n<p>This Guide provides helpful information, including tables showing overall savings in relation to the cost of equipment. It also includes formulas they can use to calculate their likely \u201cBreak-Even\u201d level (where the savings offset the cost of the equipment; \u201cPayback\u201d (how long it will take for savings to equal the cost of equipment; and\u201d Return on Investment\u201d (the percentage return they get on their cost of equipment). This Guide is in a \u201cworkbook\u201d format so companies can just plug in their own figures to make the calculations for their particular situation.<\/p>\n<p>Many companies are surprised to find that they can actually come out ahead money-wise, frequently with full payback from their equipment investment within 2 years or less. On the other hand, some companies\u2019 calculations may show that the equipment would cost more than what they would save. Today\u2019s equipment is very efficient and can reduce the volume of wastes by up to 90% by compacting and can convert wastes into recyclable form. Savings on disposal costs by 50% or more is typical. And companies can get additional revenues by recycling. So the only way for a company to know their likely result is to do their own calculation.<\/p>\n<p>This 11 page Guide can be useful for all types of companies and organizations -regardless of industry categories or size of operations &#8211; since they all have to deal with disposing of their wastes.
