Call for Styrofoam Recycling

According to the statistics, when 50,000 tons of Styrofoam is recycled, it is equivalent to a reduction of 100,000 tons of carbon emissions, saving 150,000 tons of crude oil resources and saving 2,000,000 trees which are going to be cut down. Hence, you are welcome to join for Styrofoam recycling!

Foam Densifier

Expanded polystyrene (EPS), better known as Styrofoam, a name trademarked by The Dow Chemical Company, is a kind of non-degradable "white pollution". It has a low density, only about 20kg per cubic meter. Recycled by GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier, it will gain its rebirth after completing the mission of packaging.

Disposed by such a foam densifier, Styrofoam waste can reduce to 1-2% of the original volume. By screw compression technology or Screw melting technology, the loose foam can be High-density ingot weights up to 25T per 40HQ container load.

A One-stop Styrofoam Recycling Solution

Regarding the rebirth of foam, the participation of multiple roles in their respective positions is indispensable. This is a process in which multiple roles complement each other to get mutual benefit.

In addition to the end users of foam/Styrofoam production and use, some businesses play the role of foam recyclers, some sell foam recycling machines, some provide compacted foam blocks and ingots, and some businesses need to buy such compacted foam materials to make recycled products and sell them to the market, and we call the whole process as a one-stop Styrofoam Recycling Solution.

Foam Recycling Equipment

The principles of various foam recycling equipment on the market are similar. As we all know, the foam is very light, with small density and the large volume, which lead to much trouble to the foam storage and transportation. In addition, the efficiency of direct granulation of loose foam will be very low. Therefore, aside from various technologies, the core tenet of all types of foam densifiers is “foam volume reduction”, to compact loose foam into dense blocks for transportation or storage prior to recycling. Two most commonly used foam recycling machines are: foam densifier and screw drive compactor.

EPS Foam Recycling Centers

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), commonly referred to as its brand name Styrofoam is recyclable and acceptable in many Drop-off centers. https://www.foam-recycling.com/Foam-Recycling-Location.html, here is drop off centers open to all for foam recycling, no ID or proof of residency is required. If you have a full box truck or more of EPS foam, please call 909 906 0016 prior to drop-off.

Foam Recycling Machine

In the United States, there is an industry called refurbish companies, responsible for recycling and refurbishing unused products, unpacking and inspecting new equipment, and then repacking old equipment. In this process, a large amount of EPS foam packaging materials will be produced, which needs to be recycled with a foam recycling machine.

Styrofoam Compactor

This year is a very difficult year for Styrofoam recycling. Gasoline prices remain at historically low levels, making it cheaper for plastic packaging manufacturers to produce products with virgin plastic than to buy recycled plastic. Now, Styrofoam products are more common than ever.

It is believed that it is not difficult for manufacturers to guarantee the recycling rate of Styrofoam packaging waste, which can be starting the project from a Styrofoam compactor. The Styrofoam compactor contains two functions: crushing and compression. The volume reduction ratio is 50: 1. With different production capacity, there are various models to combine based on the scrap quantity and the factory situation.

foam recycling needs you

More and more people or enterprises all over the world are making full effort to foam recycling. (see here: https://www.foam-recycling.com/) In response to the call, whether it is the collection of foam waste or the help of foam densifier seeking by companies, they all reflect the progress of people's cognition of environmental protection. When thinking of it, will you throw waste foam trays or cups into the garbage bin on the roadside at will?

What can EPS recycling brings about

http://www.styrofoamdensifier.org/ From economic perspective: EPS recycling can reduce the frequency and cost of transportation. The recycled EPS waste can be made into a variety of products, thereby reducing the demand for original products. Products made from recycled EPS materials are more energy efficient.

From social and environmental protection considerations: The social and environmental benefits of EPS recycling are intangible, but they have become increasingly important because social and environmental factors have become necessary for sustainable development. Reducing space in roadside garbage cans and landfills is the most important benefit.
