It is reported that Styrofoam can be recycled at East Lansing Polystyrene, most commonly known as Styrofoam, and is considered contamination in curbside collection, East Lansing Environmental Services administrator Cathy DeShambo said in a news release.
“Polystyrene is one of the materials our residents have cited most as something they would like to recycle and it is a material we deal with most when it comes to contamination at the curb,” DeShambo said.
“We know that we have residents who regularly make the trek to Mason or other locations to recycle their Styrofoam. We also have residents who save up their Styrofoam and bring it to our one-day community recycling event to recycle! ” she said.
In recent years, with the reprocessing technology constantly improving, more uses are being found for polystyrene recycling.
Established in 2008, GREENMAX recycling from INTCO, who is a specialist in plastic recycling, has recycling solutions which include polystyrene recycling, Styrofoam recycling and EPS recycling.
GREENMAX polystyrene compactor can deal with the waste polystyrene and the machine can work at a high ratio of 50:1 which means if you put 50m³ polystyrene foam into the hopper, the machine will crush the foam into pieces and then compress the pieces into EPS blocks which are 50 times smaller than before.
Polystyrene has increasingly attracted more and more attention. If interested, you are welcome to leave your comments.
