Foam insulation is one of the alternative construction materials today. For builders, it can be used in various applications. More builders are using foam insulation, for instance, a state trooper will join his builder friends to start a foam insulation business after his retirement. 



Builders prefer to use foam insulation in a variety of applications, including exterior walls and floors. Foam insulation is getting so popular because of its affordability and durability, which is much cheaper than other construction materials like stones. As a house construction material, it can help reduce heating and cooling costs in the long run, since it has high thermal resistance and reduces heat transfer. Also, foam insulation offers builders excellent design flexibility. It can accommodate curved walls, long ceiling spans, and custom angles. 



However, the more foam insulation the builders use, the more foam waste would be generated. As the industry grows, builders will generate more waste in the future. To save landfill costs and respond to ESG policies, many builders now purchase a foam densifier to help recycle their foam waste. A foam densifier works by melting foam materials down and compressing them into densified foam ingots. Since the foam is about 80% air, making it too bulky to recycle. By densifying foam, it is much easier to transport and store it. For builders, the expensive landfill costs can be saved. What’s more, the dust that troubles them can also be recycled by a foam densifier.



Foam insulation can do great amounts of good in construction. However, it’s also urgent for builders to recycle foam waste. INTCO Recycling is a foam recycling specialist and strives for giving recycling solutions. INTCO offers GREENMAX foam densifier to solve builders’ problems, which can help clear hurdles in recycling foam insulation. In the future, INTCO will continue the efforts to reduce and recycle foam waste and return to a beautiful planet.
