With the advent of the third decade of the 21st century, the global environment is deteriorating. More and more people are aware of the importance of recycling and are willing to participate in recycling activities. But now there is a problem, in the United States, there are recyclable things, especially plastics, in fact, there is no recycling channel. I think maybe a kind of recycling machine, foam densifier, can solve this problem.
Let’s analyze these cases that can’t be recycled. Firstly, Styrofoam has a recycling number but it is never allowed in Connecticut’s recycling stream. In fact, there are very few places that bother to recycle Styrofoam. In addition, foam bags have a triangle but they are not allowed in curbside recycling. They can be recycled at store drop-off locations. Then, the black foam has a number but is not allowed in Connecticut curbside recycling because there is no market for it.
The appearance of foam densifier undoubtedly provides a good solution to these problems. It doesn’t need a lot of storage space, complicated operation, and labor cost. Just a few simple operations are needed to carry out foam recycling. In the eyes of many people, foam is a kind of material that can only be discarded after being used, but for plastic particle manufacturers, it is a hot spot. The function of a foam densifier is to make foam into plastic particles. Hot-melting technology is used to compress foam waste into hot-melt ingots, which not only recovers foam but also reduces the volume for convenient transportation.
A foam densifier is a recycling machine worthy of investment and purchase by the government or recyclers. It’s a great pity that materials like foam, which can be 100% recycled but have no way to be recycled, are directly discarded. Therefore, it’s very worthwhile to consider the solution of using only one recycling machine.
