Depackaging Technology is Cost Effective and Green
Using a depackager to transform food waste into compost can be a cost effective and green way to dispose of your kitchen scraps. However, depackagers are not for everyone. Some municipalities have banned the recycling of food scraps, while others are hesitant to adopt the process. A new generation of depackagers has been developed to take the sting out of the process.

The apparatus can also be used in-situ to treat waste plasterboards, saving the costs associated with transporting waste to a fixed station.
Typically, plasterboards are made of gypsum that is between two layers of paper. Plasterboards are generally used for non-load-carrying dividing walls, such as walls between rooms in a house. Plasterboards are very easy to mount and are very fast to dry. These materials are inexpensive. However, the cost of disposing of the waste is high. This is especially true when you consider that the cost of storing paper in a landfill is extremely high.
