With the development of electronic commerce, buying takeout food through e-commerce has entered a rapid development period. After a day of working, most of people usually order takeout food online. Generally speaking, these takeout food always be packed in a polystyrene foam container. It will be to the detriment of our environment when it has been thrown away after using.
Frankly, the polystyrene foam container has penetrated into people’s lives deeply and this polystyrene material has a wide range in our society. We can see this material in the food service industry, building insulation industry as well as in household appliance packaging material. Thus, we have to recycle this material to create more economic interests after we finish using it.
Polystyrene is estimated to be composed of 98 percent air either when disposed of in landfills or incinerated.
It is bulky and un-biodegradable. That is to say, it will be more difficult for us to recycle if we don’t reduce its volume.
For this material, reducing its volume is the first step as above mentioned. The thing is how to reduce the volume of this loose material. Article continues below highlights.
Definitely, a kind of polystyrene compactor can reduce the volume of polystyrene. This kind of machine can be found in GREENMAX from INTCO which has always committed to polystyrene recycling as well as being a specialist in disposing of waste foam. The machine can compress the loose foam at a ratio of 50:1 which means if you put 50m³ loose foam into the hopper, the machine will smash the foam into pieces and then use its compacting system to compress the pieces into EPS blocks which are 50 times smaller than the loose polystyrene.
These pressed EPS blocks can be used by them to granulate and then make other products. GREENMAX keeps on the pursuit of polystyrene recycling to turn waste into treasure. If you are interested, welcome to join the recycling group.
