Recently, two artists, Jane Gillings and Lucy Barker, found a lot of discarded polystyrene in a water-level cave on Sydney Harbour. The polystyrene came from the discarded surfboard, buoys, and some product packaging. They sculpted many artworks out of this discarded polystyrene. These artworks will also be sent to Sculpture by the Sea and other places to be exhibited. The two artists are also passionate about marine environmental protection. The purpose of this is actually to make people aware of the terrible marine pollution.
A staggering 8 million tonnes of plastic ends up in the world’s oceans each year and plastic dumped in one region can travel and impact others. This is a global disaster that requires a global response. Intco Recycling GREENMAX, who is also an environmental enthusiast, has also acted on this. GREENMAX is committed to recycling polystyrene from all over the country for remanufacturing. But in the recycling process of polystyrene, GREENMAX found that although polystyrene is light in weight, it is bulky, very inconvenient to transport, and requires high transportation costs, which is why many related industries are reluctant to recycle.
Therefore, to popularize the recycling of polystyrene, GREENMAX has designed and manufactured polystyrene recycling machines with different powers to meet different recycling needs. Among them, the polystyrene compactor is widely praised by the public. This kind of polystyrene recycling machine can compress polystyrene to one-fifth of the original volume and easily solve the expensive transportation problem. Thanks to the polystyrene recycling machine, more and more people have joined the polystyrene recycling team.
In Chile, there is a company called Full Pack that has been recycling and processing polystyrene buoys on the seaside for 5 years, helping local governments and environmentalists to reduce marine garbage pollution. Five years ago, Full Pack knew that INTCO Recycling has more than 20 years of experience in the polystyrene recycling industry, has been exploring the latest foam recycling solutions, and has independently developed and manufactured GREENMAX polystyrene compactor. After understanding the needs, INTCO Recycling provided Full Pack with a professional recycling program. With the help of GREENMAX polystyrene compactor, Full Pack has recycled more than 1,000 tons of polystyrene buoys and solved the problem of white foam pollution on the Chilean coast. These recycled buoys have become a variety of decorative photo frames by GREENMAX!
