5 steps to Reuse Styrofoam

Do you know what kind of Styrofoam is recyclable? Actually, Styrofoam furniture packaging, fish boxes, and food containers all could be recycled, as long as any tape or stickers are taken off.
Here is the way to recycle.
1. Collect
One economic way to collect is to sort the waste, put them aside, and choose the recyclable Styrofoam. Another convenient way is to cooperate with the Styrofoam recycler. Which way to choose depends on the condition.
2. Crush
Throw the collected Styrofoam waste into the hopper mouth of the GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor, then the machine will automatically cut them into small pieces.
3. Compact
With a GREENMAX compactor, the Styrofoam pieces can be compressed into ingots and extruded through a screw. The whole process is fully automatic, saving labor costs. Meanwhile, the volume of the compressed ingots is only 1 / 50 of the original size, which greatly saves the transport and storage costs.
4. Pelletize
Compacted Styrofoam ingots can be regenerated and turned into pellets with the granulation process. This process includes the granule formation, are microencapsulation, a multi particulate system for modified release mechanism, etc.
5. Reuse
Styrofoam pellets would be shipped to manufacturers like INTCO Recycling where the pellets can be made into picture frames, interior moulding, pony packs, and foam insulation.
