Expol is New Zealand's largest polystyrene producer, with 44 years of experience, seven factories, and 250 employees. The company is deeply committed to sustainability, recycling 30% of its polystyrene into foam foundations and using 100% recycled materials in its drainage panels. Expol has also set up nearly 100 recycling points across New Zealand, making it easier for the public to drop off polystyrene packaging for centralized recycling. This helps reduce waste and promote a circular economy within the polystyrene industry.

However, Expol faced problem with their previous recycling process. Their cold press machine wasn't efficient enough, which led to higher transportation costs and lower selling prices for the recycled material. To improve this, Expol decided to invest in two GREENMAX Poystyrene recycling machine M-C100 and M-C200. These Polystyrene recycling machines use hot melt technology, achieving an impressive compression ratio of 90:1. This Polystyrene recycling machine allowed Expol to create denser, more compacted blocks of polystyrene, reducing waste and improving efficiency.

Since using GREENMAX machines, Expol has seen major improvements. The denser Polystyrene blocks have led to lower transportation costs and higher selling prices for the recycled material. By streamlining the recycling process, Expol has not only reduced costs but also improved its overall sustainability efforts. This has allowed the company to close the loop on polystyrene recycling, enhancing both their operations and their commitment to environmental responsibility.

As New Zealand's largest Polystyrene manufacturer, Expol is now recognized as a leader in sustainability. Their adoption of Polystyrene recycling technology not only reduces waste but also makes the company as a global example of environmental responsibility in the polystyrene industry.

With the help of GREENMAX, Expol plans to expand its recycling even further. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, Expol continues to lead the way in creating eco-friendly solutions for polystyrene recycling, contributing to a more sustainable future for the industry.
