A review by Choice has found that most popular appliances in Australia are packaged in polystyrene materials. Choice compared the packaging of 38 kettles, air fryers, and stick vacuum cleaners from different household brands and found that many manufacturers use non-degradable materials like polystyrene.

Polystyrene is waterproof and shock-absorbent, protecting items ranging from fragile, high-value electronics to home appliances. With 95% of its volume made up of air, a small amount of material can cost-effectively protect goods during transport. Kettles and most appliances require packaging materials that are cushioned to protect them from damage or scratches during transport and pass industry drop test standards.

Therefore, foam is cheap and the most suitable choice. In the past, people usually disposed of used polystyrene through landfill and incineration, which caused great pollution to the environment. But in fact, polystyrene can be recycled and reused. According to the Department of Environment, Australians consume about 3.4 million tons of plastic every year, of which only about 320,000 tons are recycled. Polystyrene has the characteristics of light weight and bulk, and the transportation cost is quite high, which is also the main problem in foam recycling. However, using the professional GREENMAX foam machine can perfectly solve this problem, which can compress foam at a maximum ratio of 90:1.

As a manufacturer and recycling company, the goal of INTCO Recycling is to make polystyrene recycling easier for more people. The company developed the GREENMAX foam recycling machine and buys back compacted foam ingots for reuse, such as making frame products. INTCO Recycling provides customers with complete recycling solutions, from the sale of polystyrene compactors of various capacities, to the granulation of foam ingots, and the secondary use of recycled foam.

INTCO Recycling will provide complete after-sales service to all customers. The team will visit customers frequently and if there are any problems, we will provide on-site solutions. At the same time, we will also supply customers with timely and effective feedback online at any time. INTCO provides polystyrene repurchase services for customers. If you don't want to waste time and energy looking for downstream buyers, you can choose to sell it directly to us, and we will buy it back at a very favorable price. This approach allows the customer's foam recycling to be a source of revenue continuously for the company rather than a cost, and a return on investment in the machine can be obtained quickly.

INTCO Recycling is committed to helping reduce the environmental impact of foam waste and contributing to a more circular economy.
