According to the new study, the Local Government Association (LGA) indicates 525,000 tonnes of plastic pots, tubs and trays are carefully separated by residents for their local recycling program each year.
But only 169,145 tonnes is recycled, meaning two-thirds of plastic food container disposal gets
incinerated or thrown into landfill.Government urges manufacturers to switch over to more recyclable packing material,such as expanded polystyrene foam packing material, also known as styrofoam,which is totally recyclable,due to it’s lightweight, shockproof,insulative and waterproof property,
It’s been widely used in many industries, which also brings huge amount of white pollution,especially littered along the shores and waterways, not only affect the face of the city,but also will endanger marine life,thus,the government is currently reviewing how much should be paied by the manufacturers to take responsibility to boost recycling polystyrene packing collection and processing facilities.
In fact,local government is also blamed for its current recycling equipments,which is backward and lack of advanced technology.GREENMAX,a specialist in styrofoam recycling, can help solve all your problems with its high-quality foam densifiers,which driven by hydralic and hot melting technology,can better control and compress the polystyrene scraps into densified blocks,those compressed blocks can be sold back to manufacturers at a good price, then they will make new products with those densified ingots.
After compaction,some manufacturers will pelletize those densified blocks and make other valuable products.
With the development of e-commerce and take-away industry, plastic packaging can be seen everywhere in the planet,not threaten marine life but also human being themself,therefore, as member of the earth,let’s work together to do polystyrene recycling to build a clean and healthy earth.
