As one of the most common forms of plastic, polystyrene is now widely used as the packaging material like liquid container, or functions to protect the fragile items from breaking up. It often goes into our daily life in various forms of products, from the coffee cups you take out, to the egg cartons in the kitchen.
Unfortunately, it is just so many polystyrene applications that lead to so much unnecessary cost of recycling which is financially and environmentally expensive due to the material’s special characteristics. What’s worse, polystyrene products can take thousands of years to break down in landfill. However, there still exist professional polystyrene recycling solutions to dispose the bulky materials, such as GREENMAX compactors and densifiers.
The first step of polystyrene recycling is to reduce the volume, and then it will be more convenient to transport and recycle the polystyrene materials. Foam volume reduction machines like compactors and densifiers can be supplied by GREENMAX from INTCO recycling.
Such GREENMAX machines can work at a high ratio with the compactor working at 50:1, while the densifier working at 90:1, which can ensure people to turn the loose foam into high density blocks or ingots. As a result, these compressed or densified blocks or ingots can be easily stocked on the pallets or sold to be recycled to make other plastic products.
For those who have large quantities of loose polystyrene foams, a few tons of blocks or ingots a month can possibly cover their costs, to which GREENMAX will be a great assistant. Nowadays, polystyrene is now facing a good market in the world’s foam market. Under this circumstance, GREENMAX recycling is really a good polystyrene disposal method.
