40kg. That’s how much polystyrene was found inside a whale that washed ashore recently in the Philippines. A young male about 15 feet long and weighing 1,100 pounds, likely died of starvation and dehydration brought on by the plastic stuffing its belly.
As the polystyrene pollution crisis increases, this heart-rending thing happens frequently.UNESCO estimates that:” Polystyrene debris causes the deaths of more than a million seabirds every year, as well as more than 100,000 marine mammals.” The cause of death varies. Sometimes, like in this case, polystyrene blocks food from traveling from stomach to intestine, essentially starving the animal. Sometimes, sharp edges poke holes in their internal organs. But the most fundamental reason is that people have created this polystyrene crisis.
Since its inception, GREENMAX has established a green-oriented environmental concept. And has repeatedly called for people to handle polystyrene waste in an environmentally friendly manner and to properly understand polystyrene materials. We cannot ignore its danger because of its convenience, and we cannot refuse convenience because of danger. GREENMAX is committed to promoting the environmentally friendly concept of polystyrene recycling, allowing environmental protection and convenience to coexist.
First, the waste polystyrene is recycled, and then the GREENMAX professional polystyrene recycling machine is used. One type is a polystyrene compactor, which is based on cold pressing technology. The other is a polystyrene densifier that works under hot melt technology. Compressing polystyrene waste into smaller sized solid blocks or ingots reduces transportation and storage costs while being resold to the end market.
This kind of machine is simple and safe to operate. In today’s serious plastic pollution, the cost of purchasing the machine is both an expense and an investment. What is important is how much plastic is recycled to prevent how much plastic enters the ocean. The human-made crisis requires must human to solve.
