Due to the rapid growth of the e-commerce industry, millions of customers are accustomed to buying goods online, so foam packaging material waste is everywhere, which puts a huge pressure on our environment. Similarly, due to the gradual development of the fishing industry, most of the EPS boxes used for fish will be abandoned after use, and even if they are recycled, they face high recycling and transportation costs. There is also the construction industry will usually use EPS as a raw material for mineral fiber sandwich panels, these raw materials are cut from the remaining part of the waste but also seems to have no other use, usually will be discarded to cause pollution. Waste EPS if not properly disposed of will cause a very appalling white pollution, which can be harmful to the sea, soil and even the human body. In short, waste EPS has become the cause of headaches in all walks of life。
Various countries have begun to realize the importance of proper disposal of EPS and have enacted relevant laws. Traditional EPS disposal methods are no longer suitable for today’s sustainable society. Landfill or incineration, either way is a secondary burden on the environment again. EPS compactor caters to the concept of sustainable development and is very environmentally friendly and green.
The EPS compactor, a type of screw compactor, is based on the principle of cold pressing technol ogy. The EPS is first crushed and then physically compressed by means of a screw. It’s advantage is that it is odorless when it is compressed. Even if foam has residual water in it, it can continue to be processed, such as fish boxes, fruit and vegetable boxes, etc. Since there is no heating step in the compression process, it is even more energy efficient. The compression technology does not damage the internal physical properties of the material and keeps the properties of the EPS intact.
An Australian recycler purchased the GREENMAX EPS compactor APOLO series to compact their waste fruit and vegetable boxes. and shipping costs, etc. and to reduce the volume of EPS to 1 in 50 of the original. through this fruit and vegetable box recycling, not only can facilitate the reduction of EPS waste in Australia, but also can save a lot of storage fees and freight costs, etc.
Australia’s leading online appliance retail platform Appliances online has also worked with GREENMAX. EPS provides protection for appliances that are prone to bumps and bruises in transit, so as the industry has grown, EPS scrap has become more and more common. Until the company used the GREENMAX recycling machine, it saved a lot of money in labor and recycling costs and turned the EPS recycling program into a profitable one.
In addition to the above two typical examples, due to the excellent characteristics of EPS, other industries will have discarded EPS after use, but after EPS recycling machine processing, these EPS will not only not pollute the environment, but also save money and turn waste into treasure. In short, EPS Compactor can help people with EPS processing problems in various industries to solve this problem.
