EVA foam recycling

At present, the global ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) recycling rate is generally very low. Recycling EVA foam companies are also very few. They are disposable, easily becoming white pollution, To solve this problem, it is necessary to recycle EVA foam.

Steps to process and recycle EVA foam

1. Crush the EVA foam:
EVA can be smashed by the shredder. The shredder will smash the EVA foam into beads, preparing for the process of reuse. The crushing process takes place twice.With shredder machines, EVA foam can be crushed into beads of 30-50mm, then into powder, which can be reused in the shoemaking process. The crushing process takes place twice. EVA foam can also be made into small granules of 3-12mm.

2. Reuse the beads in shoemaking:
The EVA foam powder will be used in the shoemaking process. EVA powder can be added to the raw material of shoe making and then made into new shoes again, achieving high-efficient recycling and reusing.
