The largest EPS/XPS foam producer in Saudi Arabia builds a recycling industry chain with EPS foam compactor- AI Dossary Group

The AI Dossary Group located in Saudi Arabia is the largest plastic products group in the region. It has 4 plastic factories in total, involving EPS foam packaging, EPS white and blue insulation boards, EPS/PP/PE/PET granulation, PP/PE/PET products and Production of XPS foam insulation panels. AL SHARQ POLYSTRENE FACTORY is an EPS foam factory under the AI Dossary Group. It is the largest EPS foam packaging and insulation board production factory in Saudi Arabia, and the blue EPS foam insulation board is its main characteristic product.

The reason why AL SHARQ POLYSTRENE FACTORY wants to carry out EPS insulation board recycling is because a large amount of leftovers will be produced during the process of cutting EPS foam insulation boards. Disposing of foam leftovers as waste does not conform to the concept of environmental protection, and will generate corresponding treatment costs. Therefore, the company hopes to find a reasonable solution for EPS insulation board recycling. INTCO Recycling provided a suitable GREENMAX EPS compactor for AL SHARQ POLYSTRENE FACTORY in 2022, shared EPS recycling technology and industry chain information, and created a recycling industry chain for EPS blue foam insulation boards for customers.


If you want to perform EPS recycling, you must compress this material. AL SHARQ POLYSTRENE FACTORY uses 4 sets of GREENMAX EPS compactors A-C200 to efficiently compress EPS foam with conveyor belts and cutters. These EPS compactors are placed in In our own factories and different cities, the scattered EPS blue scraps from different factories in the customer group are first compressed to reduce volume. The compression ratio of this EPS compactor can reach 50:1. The recycling ratio of such leftover materials is limited, and the addition ratio greatly affects the performance of the insulation board. It has a relatively large negative impact on the insulation and hardness of the insulation board, but this does not affect the company's EPS insulation board recycling. In fact, EPS waste can be directly used in the production of XPS insulation board after being granulated into GPPS particles. A truck can load 15-20 tons of compressed waste, transported to its recycling granulation plant in Dammam for granulation, the GPPS particles produced, the customer directly transports the particles to its nearest XPS foam insulation board factory for reuse.


INTCO Recycling has been helping many EPS and XPS manufacturers use EPS foam compactor to build their internal recycling supply chain, solve customers' industrial source waste disposal problems and help customers create additional value. The MFI index of recycled GPPS particles produced by EPS foam packaging materials and building insulation board raw materials without adding flame retardants and any other substances is generally 10-30, which is very suitable for the production of XPS foam insulation boards. At present, most XPS manufacturers in the world Already able to use 100% recycled GPPS particles.


INTCO Recycling helps it expand the recycling of EPS waste, increase the production capacity of recycled GPPS particles, and provide customers with stable recycled raw materials for the production of XPS insulation boards. At present, all 4 EPS compactors have been put into use, and the customer's internal industrial chain has been successfully constructed. The next step of the customer is to place more EPS compactors in major cities in Saudi Arabia to expand the recycling of EPS packaging materials.
