INTCO Recycling Helps TBK Improve XPS and EPS Recycling Business

TBK is a construction material supplier based in southern Italy. During the production and cutting process, a certain amount of EPS and XPS waste is produced. Different from some other builders, TBK started EPS and XPS recycling early and compressing the foam waste it produced during production.

Compressed ingots are an important part of recycling and reusing, also a very good recycled raw material. TBK sells their EPS ingots to INTCO Recycling after machine processing the raw waste. INTCO has purchased compressed EPS waste from TBK for many years and solved the problem of subsequent processing of the compressed material for them. Because their compressed ingots contain graphite materials, which are not accepted by all recyclers. But INTCO Recycling can accept and reuse it.

In the previous cooperation, the two companies established a strong sense of trust with each other. At the beginning of November 2022, TBK opened a new factory and urgently needed a new machine to process XPS waste. The first company they considered to cooperate was INTCO Recycling, and they had chosen a GREENMAX foam compactor A-C200. GREENMAX machines have been sold in Italy for many years and are sold through authorized agents that can provide timely installation and after-sales service. In order to make it easier for employees to use the machine, our sales recommended a conveyor and automatic cut-off devices. In addition, the engineer modified and upgraded the machine according to TBK’s XPS: a crushing motor was added, and the crushing blade was improved. The upgraded machine is more capable of handling a variety of materials.

At present, this foam compactor has successfully arrived at the new factory and started to operate normally. The intelligent touch-screen PLC of GRENNMAX foam compactor provides customers with a better usage experience, and the operating status of each part of the machine can be seen at the glance. INTCO Recycling not only provides EPS recycling or XPS recycling machines, but is also responsible for the procurement of subsequent compression materials. This closed-loop recycling model makes customers have no worries, and the local agency service also makes customers feel more at ease. Good trust is the cornerstone of cooperation, and the establishment of trust is based on strong brand influence and strength. We will continue to provide the best and most suitable solution for EPS and XPS recycling.
