Foam cooler boxes are an important part of the packaging industry, which provide thermal insulation and are widely used in the food and healthcare fields. Foam box recycling enables the market of foam cooler boxes to gradually towards sustainable development and green environmental protection.

Foam cooler boxes, also known as foam ice chests or Styrofoam coolers, are primarily applied for transporting and storing temperature-sensitive products, such as food, pharmaceutical, and biological samples. The foam cooler box market is valued at USD 2.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 3.8 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. Foam cooler boxes include expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam coolers, extruded polystyrene (XPS) foam coolers, etc. The traditional market is dominated by expanded polystyrene foam, but past disposal methods such as landfills have brought challenges in terms of environmental impact, even though Styrofoam is fully recyclable.

Therefore, the market is constantly looking for and using environmentally friendly alternatives, which will inevitably have a great impact on corporate costs and consume a lot of raw materials. In fact, the environmental impact caused by foam cooling boxes can be completely solved through foam box recycling. Foam box recycling can break down used waste Styrofoam boxes into particle form and make them into new foam cooler boxes or other environmentally friendly products, such as furniture, flower pots, etc. For manufacturers of foam cooler boxes, there are bound to be substandard products and scraps during the manufacturing process of these products. Foam box recycling can restore defective products and scraps to their original form and make them enter into product production again, allowing foam materials to be reused, effectively reducing the company's operating costs and saving materials.

Additionally, these processed foam particles can also be sold to recyclers or manufacturers to earn considerable profits. Styrofoam particles have great market demand and can be used to make various recycled products, such as environmentally friendly wall panels, sound-absorbing panels and baseboard decoration, which are favored by many consumers. Moreover, some national and regional governments now have recycling and environmental protection requirements for local foam manufacturing-related companies. For example, companies are required to add 20%-30% recycled materials in the manufacturing of plastic products. This has undoubtedly promoted foam box recycling. develop. Foam box recycling has become a trend that can satisfy the pursuit of sustainable packaging solutions, achieve environmentally friendly development, and establish a company's ESG image. To realize the entire process, only one foam granulator is needed.

GREENMAX foam granulator is an integrated system that integrates crushing, compaction, granulation, and cutting functions. It is a one-stop solution for foam cooler boxes from waste to recycled particles. First, the discarded foam cooler boxes are sent to the crushing device of the foam granulator by the conveyor belt. Large pieces of foam are broken into uniform scraps and transported by the screw to the compaction chamber of the machine. There, the foam scraps are heat-melted at high temperatures into compact foam ingots. The heating part of the compaction chamber of the GREENMAX foam granulator uses electromagnetic heating sheets with constant temperature heating. Therefore, moisture in the foam cooler box will not reduce the heating temperature of the compaction bin, nor will it have any impact on the foam box recycling process. Then, the foam ingots enter the granulation bin through the filter and are extruded into the condensation box in a long strip. The filter will filter out the impurities in the foam ingots, making the purity of recycled particles higher. Foam granulator uses a circulating water-cooling system to save water resources and costs. Finally, the foam ingots enter the cutting chamber of the machine to be cut into particles. The cutting chamber is equipped with a vibration motor and stainless-steel screen, which can effectively remove moisture and screen finished particles.

In addition to the professional GREENMAX foam granulator, INTCO Recycling provides an integrated solution for foam box recycling and a sales solution for foam granules. If you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them.
