GREENMAX EPS Compactor helps Dutch fish merchants to recycle EPS seafood boxes

Established in 2004, Muijs Seafood is a fast-growing and vibrant fish wholesaler located in the Bunschoten-Spakenburg fishing port in the Netherlands. Muijs Seafood has a wide range of fish products. In order to ensure that it can provide customers with the freshest products, Muijs Seafood buys fresh fish directly from the source farms every day.

Due to its strong freshness, high protection strength, and low transportation cost, EPS boxes have become the best packaging for transporting fish products. These EPS boxes are usually discarded as waste after one-time packaging and transportation tasks are completed. Therefore, a large number of waste EPS seafood boxes are produced every day.

According to EU food industry regulations, these used EPS seafood boxes cannot be reused again. Because of its large size and fast filling of space, as well as high transportation costs, recyclers often fail to pick up the waste EPS boxes in time. However, long-term storage of these waste fish boxes in the factory not only smells unpleasant, but also easily causes safety hazards. Therefore, how to deal with these waste fish boxes has become the most troublesome problem for Muijs Seafood.

In 2013, Muijs Seafood learned through GREENMAX for the first time that after a professional EPS Compactor, the air in the waste EPS foam fish box can be squeezed out to achieve the effect of volume reduction and reduce the space occupancy rate. At the same time, after the air is squeezed out, it also reduces the safety hazards of EPS flammability, and the compressed fish box can also be sold to GREENMAX to make a photo frame, which is a very environmentally friendly treatment. 

Therefore, Muijs Seafood purchased the GREENMAX A-C200 EPS Compactor for the first time to help them realize the EPS seafood box recycling. For the next 8 years, Muijs Seafood has insisted on using EPS Compactor to dispose of their waste fish boxes and has also spared no effort to introduce them to other companies that have the same troubles.

In 2021, due to the commissioning of the new plant, Muijs Seafood purchased the second A-C200 Marine Standard EPS Compactor from GREENMAX, "In the future, we will deal with more fish boxes, and we will never stop our efforts in environmental protection and sustainable development. EPS fish boxes are not rubbish for us, and are very valuable resources." said WIM, the owner of Muijs Seafood.
