North American expanded polystyrene resin manufacturers have invested a total of more than $185 million in recycled EPS technology, enabling manufacturers to use more than 30% recycled EPS materials in the production process, promoting sustainable development in many industries.

Recycled EPS can be used to manufacture many products, including packaging, building insulation panels, clothing and food-grade sheets, etc., reducing the use of virgin materials and reducing the impact on the environment. Foam recycling and reuse have been technically realized, and some EPS manufacturers have successfully used recycled EPS in the product manufacturing process and plan to put it on the market before 2024. After waste EPS is collected and cleaned, it can be processed into EPS recycled particles, which are raw materials for recycled environmentally friendly products, putting circular economy into practice.

In the EPS circular economy, the first step is foam recycling. Meanwhile, a professional EPS compactor is indispensable. Foam is bulky and lightweight, so it is not suitable for transport directly by truck or container, which is inefficient and expensive. In addition, a large amount of foam accumulated in the factory not only affects the 5S on site, but also brings safety risks. In the past, some companies chose to landfill these waste EPS or pay recyclers to take away the foam, which often required paying large amounts of processing fees, landfill fees, and transportation fees. However, using EPS compactor for foam recycling not only has environmental added value, but can also bring long-term profits to the company. The EPS compactor will compress waste foam into compact foam blocks to facilitate subsequent foam recycling, transportation and storage. At the same time, companies can choose to sell them to local recyclers, turning waste into treasure.

GREENMAX EPS compactor belongs to INTCO Recycling, an EPS recycling company, and is capable of better foam recycling. GREENMAX EPS compactor compresses foam at a ratio of 50:1, and the machine is also capable of compressing water-laden foam like seafood boxes and is suitable for foam recycling in humid areas. The EPS recycling equipment has a variety of different production capacities, including 100kg/h, 200kg/h and 300kg/h, and customers can choose according to their actual needs. Additionally, the machine can be equipped with a large silo, which can store the crushed foam scraps. After accumulating for a few days or a week, the customer can activate the compression function of the machine to process it into tight foam blocks, which can save a lot of electricity bills without affecting the timely processing of the foam.

As an EPS recycling company, INTCO Recycling has implemented a closed-loop economic model of foam recycling, which can turn waste foam into recycled products, such as picture frames, floors, etc. If you have any questions, we'll be happy to answer them.
