It is reported that the Australian government has issued a draft for reducing marine waste. The draft said that the impact of marine waste has been traced to seabirds, turtles, cetaceans, sharks and other Australian marine organisms.
The draft drafted by the Ministry of environment and energy development said that in 2016, a systematic assessment of the ecological impacts of marine wastes revealed that 82% of marine wastes were plastic and polystyrene foam.
A scientific paper published by Marine Policy last year found that fishing gear, balloons and plastic bags pose the biggest threat to marine life. Plastic bags and polystyrene foam containers are regarded as the biggest intake threat of seabirds, turtles and marine mammals.
The draft cited a 2013 scientific report that found that the marine plastics in the Australian sea were mainly polyethylene and polystyrene objects.
Recycling polystyrene and plastic is very important for the environment. GREENMAX recycling from INTCO is an American brand, which provides recycling solutions such as polystyrene recycling, Styrofoam recycling as well as EPS recycling. In addition, GREENMAMX also provides recycling machines to help you recycle different kinds of plastic waste.
For instance, GREENMAX APOLO Series polystyrene compactor can reduce the volume of polystyrene waste up to 50:1; the waste foam can be crushed and compacted into EPS blocks by the compacting system of the machine, the EPS blocks are also a kind of valuable material because it can be reused to make frame products or be sold.
Polystyrene recycling waste with the advanced technology can make huge profit, save resources and improve the rate of polystyrene recycling. Let’s get recycling now.
