In June, two states, Missouri and New Hampshire passed advanced recycling legislation. In the United States, 40 percent of states have already signed recycling legislation into law, and the addition of two new states shows that plastic recycling is a trend and that more and more states will do it in the future.



The reason why Missouri Governor Mike Parson agreed to the recycling legislation has several considerations: First, the current plastic pollution is very serious, and global plastic pollution is increasing, and people should take action. Second, plastic recycling means that plastic products such as polystyrene boxes, packaging, etc. that were previously treated as single-use waste can be recycled. Used polystyrene products can have the opportunity to become valuable new products. Third, recycling legislation means the rise of the recycling industry, especially polystyrene recycling, which will bring more jobs and encourage investment.



In fact, polystyrene, which accounts for the highest proportion of waste plastics, is a seriously neglected recyclable material. Polystyrene recycling is usually carried out by mechanical recycling, and the role of the polystyrene shredder in this process is crucial. The process of polystyrene recycling is nothing more than collection, shredding, compression, and granulation. The function of the polystyrene shredder is to chop and smash the large polystyrene products into uniform polystyrene fragments, which lays the foundation for the subsequent recycling process. However, a good polystyrene shredder can cut the polystyrene uniformly and small enough, so that the subsequent compression and other processes can be smooth. GREENMAX polystyrene shredder has a small footprint but high power, stable performance, and smooth operation, so it is the first choice for the polystyrene recycling industry. The current recycling legislation means that in the future, polystyrene shredders will enter the public eye and become more and more popular.



The recycling legislation is really a decision to celebrate. None of us should ignore the damage to the environment. Moreover, sustainable development should be pursued by industries and individual countries and states. Advanced recycling legislation also means much less plastic and polystyrene waste in landfills. With advanced recycling, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced, the environment is better, resources are saved, and more jobs are created. The plastic recycling industry needs a polystyrene shredder, and it can process not only polystyrene but also other plastic foam. Keep recycling and it makes all the difference.
