INTCO Recycling Provides Solution for Styrofoam Waste from 1915 South

Beginning in 1915 with a hardware business in Pelham, Georgia, 1915 South continued to expand its business range. Now, 1915 South offers Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Virginia exceptional furniture service through Ashley HomeStore. Over the years, 1915 South has maintained the philosophy of "customer first", has set 21 business locations by 2022.


But as the business expanded, 1915 South has produced more and more Styrofoam during the transportation of furniture and appliances. 1915 South used to dispose of Styrofoam waste by landfilling. The monthly landfill cost is close to $5,000, not including the cost of transporting the Styrofoam waste. The whole landfill process will not only need a large expenditure but will have a great negative impact on the entire ecological environment. 1915 South is very distressed about this but has not found a suitable solution.


At this time, INTCO Recycling—GREENMAX came into their sight. The GREENMAX team has been working on Styrofoam recycling solutions and has gained a great reputation all over the world. In 2018, the sales of GREENMAX took the initiative to visit the warehouse of 1915 South in Alabama and carried out machine design according to the actual situation of 1915 South. After that, INTCO Recycling had invited 1915 South to Ashley HomeStore Broad River to have a detailed cognization of how GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier process runs.


The management of 1915 South was very satisfied with GREENMAX's solution and purchased a Styrofoam densifier M-C200 at the end of 2020, and also customized a conveyor belt from GREENMAX. In February 2021, after 1915 South had received the machine, the GREENMAX after-sales team gave them a training guide on the use of the machine immediately. The GREENMAX machine is simple to operate and runs efficiently. These advantages have been well received by the 1915 South team. In addition, after starting to use the GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier, 1915 South can save around $5,000 to $6,000 per month in landfill costs, while greatly saving warehouse storage space and avoiding the potential safety hazards caused by Styrofoam buildup. After the first machine GREENMAX supplied to 1915 South successfully ran, 1915 South decided to implement the Styrofoam Recycling program in 2 new warehouses in 2022.
