To target traditionally non-recycled waste, such as expanded polystyrene and straws, Tucson has partnered with Hefty to launch the Hefty ReNew program, which complements the city's foam recycling and other efforts to promote sustainable development.

Similar to other plastic waste diversion programs in Tucson, Hefty ReNew uses orange bags to collect plastics such as EPS foam and delivers them to qualified end markets for processing into environmentally friendly products, such as building materials and plastic lumber. This recycling program enables foam recycling, reduces the amount of foam waste in landfills, and reuses recyclable resources. EPS foam is actually a resource that can be recycled and reused. Through chemical recycling or mechanical recycling, the foam is broken down into reusable materials for making new EPS foam or other environmentally friendly products.

As an EPS recycling company, INTCO Recycling not only provides a one-stop foam recycling solution, but also independently develops professional EPS recycling machines, such as EPS compactor, etc., which can meet the market and customer demand for foam recycling solutions and international requirements for recycled foam quality. The market demand for recycled foam is increasing, not only because the price of recycled foam is lower than that of new materials and performance is almost the same, but also because of the increasingly severe environmental pollution pressure and international foam recycling requirements. Some governments and regions encourage or require plastic-related companies to add 15%-30% recycled materials in the manufacturing process of products through laws and regulations. In addition, consumers are more inclined to environmentally friendly products. Enterprises implementing foam recycling can not only establish an environmentally friendly ESG image, and be more competitive in the market, but also obtain a stable income. Waste EPS foam needs to be reduced in volume by EPS compactor before it can enter the subsequent foam recycling, because the foam is large in volume and light in weight, and the transportation and storage efficiency are very low. The compacted EPS ingots can be sold to other EPS recycling companies or INTCO Recycling to obtain stable profits. If you don't want to spend time and energy looking for downstream buyers, INTCO Recycling provides buyback services to our EPS compactor customers at preferential prices, or introduces other local sales channels to achieve one-stop foam recycling.

GREENMAX EPS compactor developed by INTCO Recycling enables the compression process of foam to proceed smoothly and efficiently. The waste foam situation of each customer is different. Some have high density, some have high humidity, and some are mixed with other foams. INTCO Recycling will tailor the most suitable foam recycling solution according to the actual recycling needs of the customer, and then build the EPS compactor to ensure the most efficient foam recycling. The EPS recycling equipment can compact the foam at a high ratio and has high material compatibility. In addition to EPS foam, the machine can also process XPS, EPP and other foams, realizing multiple uses of one machine. If the customer has other materials to process in the future development, it can meet the customer's needs.

Moreover, INTCO Recycling also provides the most thoughtful after-sales service to ensure that customers can smoothly carry out foam recycling. We provide customers with machine usage guidance, employee training and other services. If customers have any questions about the repair and maintenance of EPS compactor in the future, INTCO Recycling can provide online video communication to ensure that the problem can be solved in time. INTCO Recycling hopes to work with global companies to promote the development of foam recycling.
