Recycling EPS salmon boxes and ocean buoys is a current project on the Australian island of Tasmania.

The fishery produces a large amount of EPS waste as well. Regardless of the nation, it is one of the primary sources of EPS waste. In Tasmania, Australia, one of GREENMAX's clients works in the fishing industry. During the procedure, it will produce Salmon boxes made of garbage are abundant, and a lot of EPS buoys are required in the water to aid in the spawning process. But since using ocean buoys has been prohibited in this location for some time, not only is this item's terminal use necessary, but it also helps recycle EPS buoys and fish boxes that were previously manufactured.

Following an understanding of the customer's needs and challenges, GREENAMX suggested that the customer recycle using a hot melt machine in conjunction with a water cooling system. Hot melt technique can be used to recycle EPS wastes that have a low water content since the buoys were recovered from the sea and placed on the shore for an extended period of time.

Utilizing an EPS densifier in conjunction with a water cooling system makes recycling EPS more effective. Out of all the GREENMAX recycling equipment with a compression function, the EPS densifier has the highest compression ratio, up to a maximum of 90:1. It is mostly utilized to increase recycling automation in tandem with the water cooling system. Removing the extruded, semi-melted state is the primary goal of the water cooling system. After being broken up into tiny bits, the EPS foam falls into the sink. The EPS hot melt swiftly cools and is transferred to the collecting device to enable automatic bagging with a push of water flow. Additionally, this optimizes the automation of recycling EPS.

Please get in touch with GREENMAX at any moment if you work in the fishing industry and need to recycle EPS waste. We will walk you through the EPS densifier recycling process in detail.

Top 5 Materials Used in Packaging Fitments

When you are designing a box, it’s equally important to look at the inner packaging fitments. These inserts or “things that go inside the box” are just as crucial as the outer box design. While the outer box packaging makes the solid first impression, it’s inner fitments are shouldering the responsibility for delivering the inside good with stability and security. They are ones which create a long lasting impact!  

The quality of materials used in the fitments is the key differentiating factor in box quality. Poor choice of fitments can result in damaged products and flimsy boxes. Are you wondering, “What material should I use for the next box I need for my corporate event?” 

We’ve got you! We have put together a list of the top five materials for inner packaging fitments. These materials have been rated on four key parameters:

Sustainability 

Pricing 

Strength  

Customization 

Let’s begin, shall we?

1. Corrugated Fitments:

Corrugated Fitments are the most commonly used materials in manufacturing of fitments and inserts. Depending on the use case, either 3 ply or 5 ply fitment sheets are used. Corrugated fitments are made of recycled materials and score high in terms of sustainability. They are usually 30% less expensive as compared to other materials, however you may have to buy them in larger quantities. 

Corrugated fitments, inserts, and dividers provide a lot of sturdiness to the contents and can withstand rough transportation as well. They are ideal for products such as glass jars, machine parts, etc. 

They have their limitations with respect to colour availability, however they can be offset printed for larger quantities or digitally printed for shorter quantities. 

Here’s the rating chart for Corrugated fitments.

2. Rigid Board Fitments:

Rigid board fitments are an extremely popular choice when manufacturing fitments for packaging. Rigid fitments are frequently used in packaging for cosmetics, FMCG, jewelry, and other luxury items. Many times they are also used in conjunction with XLPE or EPE foam fitments. 

Rigid board, commonly known in India as Putha Board, is made of recycled pulp and scores high in the sustainability index. 

The price of rigid board fitments is slightly higher that of corrugated sheets. However, the strength and stability they provide is worth the higher price point. If we choose the appropriate thickness of board for making the fitments, then a very superior level of strength and stability can be achieved in the packaging. 

The best part about rigid board fitments is that they are completely customizable. Any type of printed or colour sheets can be pasted on top of these rigid fitments.

3. Foam Fitments :

Foam based fitments are widely used in packaging of glass, machine tools, and other high-value items. Currently, two of the most commonly available foam fitments are —- XLPE foam or EPE foam. 

As expected, they don’t score well on the sustainability scale. They are harmful to the environment since they are non-biodegradable. But, they are the most sturdy and safe fitment option out there. 

And, since they are the most sturdy option available in the market, their price is always on the higher side. We would like to highlight that XLPE foam fitments are 40% more expensive than EPE foam fitments. 

Lastly, the customisation of these fitments is very expensive. They generally are available in few colour options – white, black, pink and blue. In order to customise them further, they need a layer of paper or paperboard on top of them.  

4. Bagasse Fitments 

Bagasse is a dry fibrous residue that is generated after extraction of sugar from sugarcane. Nowadays, Bagasse is being used extensively in the making paper moulded fitments and dividers for various packaging applications. 

You might be aware of bagasse plates and other recyclable cutlery that are widely used today. Bagasse fitments or inserts are slowly starting to trend in the packaging industry as well. 

Bagasse is probably the most eco-friendly material amongst the entire list of fitments mentioned here. It is 100% recyclable. However, the costs associated with making a bagasse mould and then manufacturing these fitments is on the higher end when compared to other paper-based or plastic fitments.

Customization of colours in bagasse fitments is extremely difficult and require extremely large quantities to justify the expense. From a durability standpoint, bagasse fitments are sturdy enough to withstand pressure, however not as strong when compared to foam or rigid board fitments. 

5. Paper Fitments :

Paper or paperboard fitments are the most pocket friendly fitment option (Probably 25% cheaper than rigid board). These are easy to source and manufacture. Paper fitments are generally made of recycled paper. But, it’s important to remember that they do not provide as much stability as other material options. 

The parameter where paper fitments beats the competition is customization. All sorts of customizations are possible with paper fitments, including offset printing, digital printing, foiling, and embossing. So if you are looking for something really unique and tailored to your brand, then paper fitments might be your best bet.

The aid of a polystyrene compactor is essential to increasing the rate of polystyrene recycling.

How well-versed are you in recycling polystyrene? In actuality, recycling polystyrene is not an easy process. There are numerous techniques to recycle polystyrene and complex industries associated with it. The idea that polystyrene can and should be recycled has, thankfully, gained acceptance. The general public is aware of its popularity. According to the Alliance for Foam Packaging Recycling, the polystyrene sector claims a recycling rate of roughly 12%, although this figure includes leftovers from the production of expanded polystyrene, which are right away repurposed.

What exactly is instant recycling? As an illustration, there will be a lot of clean polystyrene scraps created throughout the production and cutting of polystyrene. Usually, these wastes can be directly reused without any further processing, for example, by creating polystyrene packaging for peanuts. These polystyrene materials are employed in a variety of applications, such as furniture packing, EPS fish boxes, etc., and subsequently recycled. This process is known as immediate recycling, despite what we would say. This demonstrates the need for us to keep an eye on polystyrene recycling.

Despite the fact that recycling polystyrene is more difficult than creating new materials, we should focus on resource recycling and sustainable development. In recent years, polystyrene recycling has become easy and affordable with the aid of polystyrene compactors. By lowering the amount of expanded polystyrene, the GREENMAX polystyrene compactor makes polystyrene recycling practical. As much as we can, we want to recycle polystyrene without incurring unnecessary fees. The true development of polystyrene recycling can only be accomplished in this manner.

The polystyrene compactor reduces trash volume to 1/50 of the initial volume. The polystyrene recycling machine from Intco comes in a variety of designs. The device using the cold pressing process is seen above. We also have hydraulic and hot melt technology. Assisted equipment, please inquire!

In daily life,how to Recycle EPS in

EPS is the abbreviation of "Expanded Polystyrene" in English. The Chinese name is expanded polystyrene, commonly known as "foam" or "foam". It is a white foamed plastic. After taking the mold into a block, the volume is 50 times the original, which contains 95-98% air and 2-5% pure polystyrene. Small particle foam can be used to make plastic cups and small containers, medium particle foam can be used to make packaging bags, and large particle foam is used in bulk packaging materials. The main characteristics of this substance are: insulation, light weight and water resistance.

First, collect waste EPS foam

Second, transport the waste foam to the GREENMAX EPS recycling machine.

Then the EPS foam blocks are shredded, compressed into blocks, smashed, and then melted and extruded into a plastic extruder for granulation.

The last thing that comes out is the regenerated PS particles

These plastic particles can be used to produce drying racks and CD boxes, etc.

What is EPS Shape Moulding Machine and How does it work

EPS Machine system adopts multiple heating method, adopts solid and shifting balance valve system, control instrument and control valve parts to complete the cycle, thus making the machine more steam saving. The unstable factors of product quality caused by unstable steam source are solved and the quality is greatly improved. Steam and cooling water valves are imported components, safe operation, stable performance, foam molding machine can operate 2-3 machines.

The working principle of foam molding machine is similar to the principle of syringe, it is by virtue of the thrust of screw, the plastic has been plasticized into the molten state of injection into the mold cavity, after curing and shaping the product process.Injection molding is a cyclic process, one cycle mainly includes: quantitative feeding – melt plasticizing – pressure injection – mold cooling – mold opening and taking. After the product is taken out, the mold is closed again for the next cycle.

EPS Shape Molding Machine can change different Mould to produce different foam products, EPS Mould can be customized, the most common foam vegetable boxes, foam fish boxes, seedling trays, ICF Blocks and So on.

We have recently begun to manufacture a series of machinery and equipment for EPS Mould facilities that require high multi-fold expansion capabilities.

EPS Raw Material Project is the first pre-expanding machine to produce EPS beads with a density of 16-20g/l and a capacity of 1,500-2,000kg/h. The main purpose of this multi-expansion design is to have a secondary expansion capacity of 120/150m3/h.

The heating coil type fluidized bed dryer is made of stainless steel. In addition, the steam surface of the all stainless steel steam container is a wedge-shaped line. The machine is fully automatic. PLC with touch screen and Mitsubishi trademark as an automatic control partner is optional. It is equipped with a vibration sensor and an automatic density control unit.

We manufacture various types of block and shape forming EPS processing machinery and equipment, such as vertical block forming machines, automatic cutting lines, and forming machines.

Expandable polystyrene (EPS) and other industrial Styrofoam are 98% air which makes them very bulky in comparison to their weight. Because of the high volume, products made with these materials fill dumpsters quickly, leading to much higher waste disposal costs.

Foam Compactors reduce the volume of EPS, and in turn, fewer fees are incurred in the process. Also, a benefit, compacted foam products and industrial Styrofoam can be shipped economically to a recycling center. Compacting foam plastics can save thousands in unnecessary waste disposal costs!

EPS Recycling Machine can benefit a wide variety of markets. Here are some examples of businesses that can benefit from it.

Manufacturers

Furniture Stores

Appliance Stores

Food/Seafood Companies

Property Management Agencies

Retailers

Schools/School Districts

Stadiums and Parks

Expandable Plastic Recycling Programs

TODAY, THE DEMAND FOR EPS RECYCLING IS GROWING EVEN STRONGER

Waste reduction is a priority for many companies and communities as the impact of consumer waste has become much more evident. Recycling initiatives have been rolled out across many industries. Now, you can find recycling programs for paper, aluminum, plastic bottles, EPS and industrial Styrofoam waste.

RECYCLED EPS MATERIALS ARE RICH IN VALUE

Companies value recycled materials because they can be used to make a wide range of products. Recycled EPS is used to make items like picture frames, plastic lumber and packaging. Companies are now paying substantial amounts of money for recycled polystyrene as it is valued more than some metals, glass, paper and other recyclables.

Banning foam is not the only solution！

Can you imagine a world without foam? There are many general categories of foam, such as EPS XPS EPE EPP. The application is also extremely wide. If there is no foam like EPS, we may no longer be able to enjoy fresh salmon. The EPS fish box has the function of heat preservation, insurance and anti-collision during the transportation of fish. At the same time, it prevents the overflow of fish blood and water and maintains hygiene. If there is no XPS, we will not be able to enjoy the warmth of the house. It is well known that the thermal insulation device in the wall is made of XPS thermal insulation board and cement. The two kinds of foam, EPP and EPE belong to the two types with strong toughness and hardness. Without the foam, our lives will be very inconvenient, so why are there so many people calling for the ban on the use of foam? This is because foam has become a major source of pollution due to poor handling.

In order to continue to use this material and at the same time protect the environment, GREENMAX manufactures many kinds of Styrofoam recycling equipments for foam recycling. Two of the most popular are foam densifier and foam compactor. The foam densifier generates heat during the working process, which can heat the foam into a gel and then extrude it. This machine is almost suitable for processing all kinds of foam, especially the EPE EPP with high elasticity and high hardness. The compression ratio is 90:1. The foam compactor is used for recycling foam. No heat is generated in the process of using the screw to compress the foam, which is more suitable for processing foam such as EPS XPS. The compression ratio is 50:1.

GREENMAX is committed to helping you close the recycling loop. We purchase compressed polystyrene to make environmentally friendly frame strips to help you completely solve waste foam.

How does an EPS densifier work while processing waste EPS foam?

The popular EPS recycling machine on the market are commonly two types, one is EPS compactor, the cold compress machine is safe and pollution-free, and the other is EPS densifier, which is efficient and easy to operate. Both of the two types of machines aim at foam volume reduction and making loose foam into dense ingots, among which EPS foam densifier is more popular. So, how does the EPS densifier work?

Crush loose EPS foam into pieces

The first step for EPS foam volume reduction is crushing. EPS densifier is usually equipped with a crusher, you need to put the loose EPS foam boxes into the crusher hopper, the equipment will crush the loose and bulky foam into small pieces, which is more convenient for the next step.

Melt foam scraps with heat

The crushed foam scraps will fall into the screw heating chamber. When the EPS gradually accumulates, the motor will quickly heat up to melt the foam. The feeding speed during the melting process needs to be controlled at a stable frequency, too fast or too slow will cause the material to block the equipment.

Extrude foam ingots out after melting

With the accumulation of foam scraps, the melted foam waste can be continuously and slowly extruded under the push of the screw. The hot melt foam ingots that have just come out may not be shaped well. If the material is continuously fed for a period of time, the melted foam ingots will become smooth and in high quality. You can put a tray at the discharge port to fix the hot melt into dense blocks.

GREENMAX EPS densifiers are used to compact loose foam products into dense blocks for easier transportation or storage before recycling. The traditional baler can be used to compact the foam, but the effect is not so good. A 48-foot truck of bale foam weighs about 16,000 pounds, while a truck of dense foam weighs 40,000 pounds. The efficiency of the EPS densifier is not only more than 2 times, and the compressed material can also be sold, thus creating a great economic benefits.

GREENMAX Polystyrene Compactor helps Australian Supermarkets Recycle Waste Polystyrene Packaging

According to The Daily News, the pressure is now mounting on Australia’s supermarkets to drastically reduce the amount of environmentally toxic plastic packaging such as polystyrene on their shelves.

Plastic packaging is often considered as a blessing for supermarkets since it can be deployed to protect food, preserve freshness, and prevent spoilage and waste. For example, lots of fruit and vegetables are packed with polystyrene boxes to protect from being damaged and maintain one temp to keep them fresh before reaching residents’ kitchens. However, these polystyrene boxes are often thrown away within minutes of use, yet they can persist in the environment for 1,000 years.

Can these polystyrene boxes discarded be recycled or reused? The answer is “Yes”, but there is still far to go.

Polystyrene is considered not to be recycled In many people's minds, polystyrene cannot be recycled, like most disposable plastic waste. If you know the fact that polystyrene is composed of 98% air, and these air can be compressed out, you may have a different opinion. When the air in the waste polystyrene is squeezed out, they will become dense objects that are as hard as rocks and can be used to make new products. Acknowledging that polystyrene waste can be recycled is the first step in the reasonable and effective recycling of polystyrene.

Polystyrene packaging waste is not accepted Even if it is known that polystyrene waste can be recycled, it is still not accepted in some local recycling centers or roadside recycling points in Australia. Because of its bulky volume and lightweight, polystyrene waste is often refused since large storage space will be occupied and high transportation costs will generate, while it needs to be placed in designated places and undergoes special treatment before it can be recycled.

Professional Polystyrene Recycling Machine is needed Some local councils or specialized polystyrene recycling facilities in Australia are usually equipped with specialized polystyrene recycling machines. At present, the main working principle of the recycling machine on the market is to exhaust the air in the waste polystyrene through extrusion or hot melt, greatly reducing its volume. For example, the GREENMAX Polystyrene Compactor, manufactured by INTCO Recycling, the leading provider of renewable polystyrene foam (EPS) solutions in Australia, is welcomed by local councils, such as Muswellbrook Shire Council, East Gippsland Shire Council, Albury City Council, etc.

The GREENMAX Polystyrene Compactor Apolo Series can compact polystyrene waste into dense and uniform blocks with a volume reduction ratio of 50:1, greatly reducing the volume and saving storage and transportation costs. Meanwhile, the compressed polystyrene block can be processed into various exquisite wall decoration products with INTCO Recycling’s expertise. This matches for the circular economy and sustainability sense in many countries, as well as improved polystyrene recycling efficiency while reducing costs, saving a lot of forest resources, and protecting nature surroundings.

With the promulgation of Australia's plastic restriction order, more and more supermarkets have joined the activities of reducing and recycling polystyrene packaging, such as the Melbourne Market.
