Orwak Easi UK Ltd

Balers, compactors and refuse systems from North Yorkshire

Orwak Easi UK Ltd operates from a head office at Hag Lane, Tholthorpe, in York, North Yorkshire. The company presents itself as a specialist in compaction and baling technology and describes its parent brand, Orwak, as established in Sweden in 1971. Its UK operation combines that background with what the company describes as nearly 200 years of industry experience across its team.

The business frames its purpose around making waste management more cost effective and sustainable for client organisations, and it sells, rents, services and maintains the equipment it supplies.

Baling and compaction equipment

The catalogue is organised around two main families of machinery, balers and compactors, with additional ranges for bins and underground collection.

• Vertical balers
• Horizontal balers
• Static and portable compactors
• Ex-rental balers
• Brickman balers and compactors, including vertical and horizontal models, static and portable compactors and ex-rental units

According to the company, the machines handle a wide range of materials: cardboard, plastic, paper, dry mixed waste, wet waste and multi-waste streams, among others.

Bins and underground refuse systems

Beyond balers and compactors, the range extends to waste collection containers and public-space solutions:

• SULO bins and URS (Underground Refuse Systems)
• Molok deep waste collection bins
• TOM, described as a public space compactor

Servicing, maintenance and consumables

Orwak Easi UK provides servicing and maintenance for a range of balers and compactors, including machines produced by other manufacturers. The online shop sells baler accessories and consumables; at the time of writing the catalogue listed wire ties (1000 ties) at £35.00 plus VAT, galvanised baler wire (300 x 13ft wires) at £237.00 plus VAT and 9mm baler strapping or banding (4 x 250m rolls, white) at £46.00 plus VAT.

Waste audits and sector guidance

The company offers a free, no-obligation waste audit in which its team reviews a client's waste streams and advises on a suitable management solution, with the stated aim of maximising savings. It also publishes a waste management knowledge hub covering how different waste streams can be managed to reduce business costs, alongside guidance organised by industry.

Case studies and current topics

Published case studies include work with M&A Matting, a Projex-1 installation involving an Orwak Flex 5030, and a project with FareShare Yorkshire. In the latter, a baler is used to bale cardboard and crush plastic baskets, with the bales collected by a recycling firm; the company reports that the installation saved volunteer hours and freed up space for the charity. Recent news items cover a collaboration with Falcon Cleaning & Support Services on recycling at events and commentary on the 2026 recycling reforms and their implications for businesses.
