China’s demand for waste plastics has increased significantly as the government plans to ban the import of waste plastics by the end of this year, which will inhibit the domestic polystyrene recycling industry.
The increasing demand for plastics highlights the efforts of the Chinese government to declare war on environmental pollution. To this end, the Chinese government said it would stop importing waste by the end of this year.
“The ban on the import of waste plastics will undoubtedly have a positive impact on polystyrene producers. In 2017, total demand for polystyrene in Asia will reach about 41.5 million tons, of which China will account for about two-thirds.” said JPNah, director of IHS Markit Chemical.
With the increasing demand for polystyrene, the problem of waste polystyrene disposal has also be noticed that by Chinese government. Most large recycling plants have already use professional facilities to deal with waste polystyrene or plastic.
But to recycle this material, we may face a lot of problems because polystyrene is non-biodegradable. When ingested by animals, it often blocks their digestive tracts, causes starvation, and ultimately death. Additionally, polystyrene is a bulky and lightweight material, so we have to reduce its volume before recycling it.
When it comes to polystyrene recycling, obviously, a kind of professional polystyrene recycling machine is your best choice. GREENMAX polystyrene compactor specializes in compressing all kinds of polystyrene material. The machine can smash the waste polystyrene foam and compress it into dense block. After compaction, it can be sold for recycling and reusing them to make frame products and construction moldings.
When we use this materials, recycling polystyrene is also important. If you are interested, welcome to leave your comments.
