Foam-A-Saurus Rex Campaign Brings Polystyrene into Recycling Mode
Due to the holding of the Foam-A-Saurus Rex program, a polystyrene recycling plant located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina collected 80,000 lbs of foam in the past year.
The Foam-A-Saurus Rex recycling program accept multiple foam plastic which used in packaging for electronics, furniture and more. The residents who want to handle discarded polystyrene packaging can seek containers with dinosaur “Rex” on it and place the foam in the container. The foam waste will be crushed and melted into dense foam ingots, which will then be shipped to the market.
Only a professional foam densifier is needed to convert loose foam into dense ingots. In the field of polystyrene recycling, INTCO Recycling has deep experience and has developed professional GREENMAX polystyrene hot melting machine. Firstly, this machine will crush waste foam into scraps by the double spiral knife. Then, it works by heating the foam at a high temperature and convert the foam scraps into compact foam ingots, which is easy for transportation and storage. It can achieve a continuous output of 90:1, and under normal circumstances, the bulk density can reach 600-800kg/m3. Apart from its high production efficiency, this machine is very simple to operate. Even a temporary worker without mechanical knowledge can get started quickly. Meanwhile, this densifier only requires one worker to complete the entire recycling process of polystyrene, saving labor costs.
These recycled polystyrene ingots are very popular in the recycled market and have high value. These hot melt foam ingots can be sold to manufacturers to make various recycled products, such as furniture, environmentally friendly frames, etc. Therefore, companies and governments can reuse waste foam, which not only avoids discarding waste polystyrene to landfills and various processing and transportation costs, but also generates continuous income. Waste foam recycling not only has environmental benefits, but also economic benefits. If you cannot find a buyer for foam ingots in your local area, INTCO Recycling can provide purchasing services for you.
As a recycler and manufacturer of polystyrene, INTCO Recycling has truly realized the circular economy model from waste foam to recycled products, turning waste into treasure and returning it to people's daily lives.
