A recent chart of the circular economy infographic has shown that distinct advancements in EPS circulation. Since 2017, the number of recycled EPS has increased greatly in the U.S. Especially in the year 2019, there have been 136.8 million pounds of recycled EPS. Nowadays EPS compactor has contributed greatly to the fact that residents and merchants are familiar with the fact that EPS can be recycled due to the reliability of the EPS compactor. EPS compactor has stopped society from considering EPS as waste.



EPS is used to be regarded as a “one-off”, however, EPS is a recyclable and environmentally sustainable product in fact. Scientifically researched, documented, and proven, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint on earth than similar materials. It is a wise choice for packaging, construction, insulation, and protection, as well as an environmentally responsible first choice. Among these functions, EPS boxes and packaging are the most used. After unwrapping the EPS packaging or boxes, people can bring EPS packages to designated recycling sites for recycling, and some places have even opened a return mail program, which is also an option.



In the U.S, the EPS industry has created a national collection organization of more than 200 recycling sites to support EPS recycling. The most common recycling equipment is the EPS compactor. Why? Let’s analyze the situation of EPS recycling.
Firstly, the EPS compactor adopts the technology of cold compacting, which can guarantee that the process of recycling will not change the chemical construction of EPS. On the contrary, another recycling machine EPS densifier adopts hot-melting technology.
Secondly, the EPS compactor can save more energy.
Thirdly, the recycling process will produce no unpleasant smell due to its technology. This helps protect operators from respiratory problems that might be caused by bad and poisonous smells.
Last but not the least, EPS compactor can deal with many kinds of waste materials, even if those can’t be dealt with by other recycling machines. For example, the EPS compactor is able to compress water containing EPS, such as fish boxes, fruit and vegetable boxes. It’s very inclusive in EPS recycling.



All these reasons make EPS compactor is widely used in EPS recycling. INTCO Recycling has endeavored in the EPS recycling domain and has designed several series of recycling machines. Among that, GREENMAX EPS Compactor has been improved in performance and provides the service of customization, which is more flexible in conducting recycling. EPS compactor maximizes the error-free recycling process and is very inclusive, which reinforces the belief that EPS recycling is possible.
