Polystyrene manufacturers in the United States are being given more and more responsibility because of the further increase in polystyrene pollution. The US Environmental Protection Agency requires Southern California polystyrene manufacturers to protect the Los Angeles River from pollution.
Polystyrene manufacturers must ensure that polystyrene pellets produced during the production of polystyrene do not enter the Los Angeles River. This means that polystyrene manufacturers need to find new ways to deal with polystyrene waste. If traditional garbage disposal methods are used, it is necessary to eliminate the landfill. After the plastic is decomposed into polystyrene particles in the land, it is still easy to discharge. Rivers, so only the way of incineration, polystyrene burning will produce a lot of toxic gases, obviously not in line with the requirements of the US Environmental Protection Agency.
In fact, before this requirement, polystyrene manufacturers have adopted new polystyrene waste disposal methods to avoid environmental problems. Many polystyrene manufacturers in the United States will choose to purchase a professional polystyrene recycling machine, such as GREENMAX’s polystyrene densifier M-C100, which compresses polystyrene waste in a 90:1 ratio to produce recycled polystyrene ingots. Polystyrene ingots are easy to transport and store, and can be sold to the end market. This treatment reduces the pressure on the environment and can also develop a new economic model for the company.
Regardless of whether the US Environmental Protection Agency has requirements, manufacturers and manufacturers related to polystyrene need to assume their own corporate responsibilities, not only for the environment, but also for their own health and life.
