According to statistics, the global EPS market is about 6.62 million tons, and about 45,000 tonnes of polystyrene is created and consumed each year in Australia. EPS foam has been applied to every corner of our lives. Perhaps people know that EPS foam is a material for fast packaging and fish boxes, but few know that EPS foam is also used to make building insulation boards. EPS foam has great potential in the insulation board market and can be used in roofs, walls, floors, underground and structural GEO foams.
EPS foam insulation board is beneficial to improve the living environment of the house, but once it is abandoned, a large amount of EPS foam waste will be generated, mainly from the residues during the construction of the house and the insulation board during the demolition process. These wastes are usually thrown away and cause environmental pollution. With the improvement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, EPS foam insulation boards can be reused as recycled materials in new products after being compressed and recycled.
For builders with a large amount of waste insulation board, EPS foam takes up a lot of space due to its bulky volume and lightweight. GREENMAX EPS Compactor can compress loose EPS foam sheets into dense blocks through screw compression technology. It only takes a few simple steps to complete the treatment of EPS foam waste. The EPS Compactor can reduce the volume of the foam to 1/50 of the original, and finally make it convenient to store, transport, and sell.
Today, EPS foam cold presses have been recognized by more and more recyclers and foam end users, especially under the influence of COVID-19, the transportation and collection process of EPS foam has become longer and longer. For many people who have a large amount of discarded EPS foam insulation panels that need to be disposed of, GREENMAX EPS Compactor is definitely a way to get the most benefits at the lowest cost.
In fact, professional foam recycling companies can usually provide a full set of EPS recycling solutions. For example, Inco Recycling, which not only provides professional EPS Compactor but also purchases back the compressed foam blocks, which can be further processed into pellets and then made into photo frames, decorative frame strips, and other products. EPS foam can be recycled and reused as a type of plastic that uses resin as a raw material. Turning waste into treasure is the most ideal solution for disposing of waste EPS foam.
