Advantages

illustration of the waste  The figure illustrates wastepercentage, the bale is  1.8 meter. If only a layer of 0.10 meter is damaged, 20% of the bale is wasted! 
When You use the straw for bedding, You also have to use some of the good straw to compensate for the wet straw. 
With the BINDER-WRAP system You nearly eliminate the waste.
Most farmers will be able to get a big reduction in the amount of straw needed for bedding. This saving only have to cover the purchase of the equipment, because the expense to stretchfilm is nearly the same as to net or twine.(0.6 - 0.8 £) 
 

Storing costs

Costs for different methods for storing straw
The 3 columns in the middle are from an article from the center for agricultural advisers in Denmark. The column "without cover" is based on a waste on 20%. The column "BINDER-WRAP" is based on the price the contractors charge extra.

Reducing work load

The bales that are wrapped with stretchfilm gives a big reduction in the work load. You save the work with covering the straw and they are also easier to use in the stable. The plastic is very easy to remove from the bales, even in frosty weather, and You do not have to remove wet or frozen straw.
