Etymology
The term 'baling' originates from the Old English word 'bælg', which means 'bag' or 'sack'. This word evolved through Middle English with similar meanings, eventually leading to the modern use of the term in relation to grouping and packaging materials into manageable units. The agricultural practice of baling began to gain popularity in the 19th century with the advent of mechanical balers, which revolutionized the way farmers collected and stored hay and straw. As agricultural techniques evolved and demands for efficient storage methods increased, baling became a standard practice recognized worldwide. The term has since expanded to include a variety of materials, including textiles, paper, and recyclable products, reflecting advances in both farming and recycling technologies.
