Polystyrene pollution has been paid attention to on a global scale. More and more people are calling for the reduction of polystyrene products, and countries’ policies on polystyrene are beginning to adjust. Since China banned the import of polystyrene waste in 2017, Southeast Asian countries have begun to make similar regulations.
The United States, Australia and other major polystyrene waste exporting countries began to digest their own polystyrene waste. However, in these developed countries, garbage collection has no national regulations and is usually considered by local municipalities. The municipal financial expenditure per year is limited, which means that the cost of recycling
polystyrene has forced the municipality to give up, thereby stipulating that
polystyrene waste cannot enter the recycling bins on the roadside.
However, there are also municipal choices to work with recyclers who accept polystyrene . These recyclers usually buy a professional polystyrene recycling machine, like the classic GREENMAX polystyrene densifier, which can hold polystyrene at a high ratio of 90:1. Compressed into ingots, this ingot is not only easy to store, but also easy to transport, saving the cost of polystyrene recycling.
Recycling recyclers is not only a way to reduce the pressure on the municipality, but also recyclers can sell plastic ingots to make a profit. This is a very good way of cooperation, and it is also the main method in the developed countries to solve the problem of polystyrene recycling in the region.
