With the continuous development of our social life and the continuous improvement of the construction level of the construction industry, people’s demand for renewable energy has increased dramatically. The conflict between energy supply and demand has become more and more prominent. The development of new green and environmental protection Energy and energy conservation are the only way to achieve healthy economic development and energy recycling.
The energy-saving materials for building exterior insulation mainly include: polystyrene insulation foam board (EPS and XPS), insulation cotton (rock wool board and glass wool board), and ultra-light polystyrene pellet insulation slurry. A common feature of the above various materials is that there are a large number of closed holes in the material, and their apparent density is small, which is also necessary as a thermal insulation material.
Energy-saving materials are insulation materials. Insulation material refers to a material or material composite used for building envelopes or thermal equipment, impedance heat transfer, including insulation materials and cold insulation materials. The significance of thermal insulation materials is to meet the thermal environment of building space or thermal equipment, and to save energy.
With the increasing intensity of energy worldwide, the significance of thermal insulation materials in energy conservation has become increasingly prominent. For the general air conditioning of residential heating, energy saving can be 50%~80% on the existing basis by using the insulation material. According to Japanese energy-saving practices, every 1 ton of insulation material can save 3 tons/year of standard coal, and its energy-saving benefit is 10 times the cost of material production. Therefore, some * regard thermal insulation materials as the fifth largest “energy” after coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear energy.
Therefore, it is quite important for us to do Styrofoam recycling, not only because it will help largely save natural resources, but also you can make profits out of recycling industry, as those waste foam can be densified into EPS blocks or ingots by GREENMAX polystyrene compactor, and end-users will use them as raw material to manufacture frame products.
