ProAmpac, an expert in flexible packaging and material science, has launched an innovative ProActive recyclable foam tray, the FT-1000. This tray is made from polypropylene and is approved for curbside recycling.

This innovative product introduces an easily recyclable lightweight foam tray to the food service and grocery markets. ProAmpac FT-1000 is composed of up to 90% air, which significantly reduces the material footprint and makes this innovative technology a sustainable packaging solution.

In addition to this innovative tray, many products made from polypropylene foam materials are widely used in the packaging and automotive markets, and they are 100% recyclable. But many people have questions, does expanded polypropylene have recycling value, and can EPP recycling bring profits to recyclers?

In fact, many entrepreneurs have begun to enter the expanded polypropylene recycling industry, and the overall development prospect is very promising. EPP waste can be processed and remade into new plastic products or used in other related applications, which is a neglected renewable resource. And the simplest EPP recycling transaction can be realized by selling compacted EPP blocks.

EPP recycling is mainly achieved through mechanical equipment, involving machines such as EPP compactor and EPP granulator. EPP compactor is a device specially used for reducing the volume of solid and large expanded polypropylene, which can be compacted to one-fiftieth of its original volume. Compacted EPP foam blocks can be sold directly to downstream buyers for re-granulation and deep processing. If you want to invest in the EPP recycling industry personally, it is best to choose a suitable EPP compactor. EPP granulation requires the purchase of a complete production line.

As an expert in expanded polypropylene recycling, GREENMAX not only provides customized EPP recycling solutions for each customer, but also has a variety of EPP foam volume reduction equipment for customers to choose from, including EPP compactor Zeus series, EPP densifier Mars series and so on. These machines use different technologies to achieve different compaction effects.

GREENMAX EPP compactor Zeus series uses screw physical compaction and surface scalding heating technology to achieve stable compression processing effect and improve the transportation and space management efficiency of subsequent EPP recycling. The expanded polypropylene will be crushed and compacted into dense blocks by the screw, and the surface will be melted and quickly solidified by the high temperature at the discharge port, effectively avoiding the accident of EPP blocks expanding from the inside.

EPP foam blocks compacted by EPP compactor can enable enterprises to obtain stable and continuous profits, which is the most intuitive way to make profits from EPP recycling. Additionally, enterprises can effectively establish an environmentally friendly ESG image, enhance brand effects, and be more competitive in the market by carrying out expanded polypropylene recycling. Therefore, EPP recycling can also enhance the company's monetization ability in terms of brand influence.

If you want to invest in EPP recycling, GREENMAX is happy to help you.
