"If we don't do something about waste foam, it's going to be there forever," said Tony Colangelo, acting director of collection services for the City of Edmonton. Yes, foam plastic is a non-degradable material. Leaving waste foam plastic alone is a great hidden danger to environmental safety. The city of Edmonton has been aware of the seriousness of foam pollution as early as last year, Colangelo said. The styrofoam recycling pilot has been expanded, and four urban eco-stations now accept large styrofoam blocks free of charge, which mainly include foam packaging for goods and foam coolers used in cold chain transportation.

Polystyrene is collected by a local recycling company, Styro Re Cycle, which compresses the plastic and sells it to other companies for further processing for other uses. Many people are curious, how are these originally loose plastic foams compressed? What is the purpose of compression? In fact, compressing foam is the most important step in the recycling process, which greatly affects the capital expenditure of the project. In order to solve this problem, GREENMAX, an equipment company under INTCO Recycling, designed the foam densifier to help maximize recycling with the least capital expenditure: squeezing out the air in the foam and making the waste foam become denser and more compact is the best reduction project fee method. GREENMAX foam densifier has an extremely high compression ratio, which can reach 90:1. It uses efficient hot melt technology to discharge the air in the foam to reduce transportation costs.

Polystyrene foam is only one of the common types of foam, and our recycling range should not be limited to only one type of foam. Foam densifier is popular not only because of its high compression ratio, but also because of the variety of foam that can be recycled. Really realize "one machine for multiple purposes".
