To ensure the freshness and cold storage of seafood while avoiding additional transport burdens, small-scale fish vendors widely use EPS foam fish boxes. However, this practice also leads to the accumulation of large amounts of discarded EPS foam in fish processing facilities, causing significant challenges to daily operations.

As environmental regulations continue to tighten worldwide, landfilling EPS fish boxes is no longer a viable option. However, the cost of outsourcing foam waste disposal services can be a heavy economic burden for small fish businesses. As a result, some forward-thinking vendors are actively seeking more eco-friendly and cost-effective foam recycling solutions.

In this context, a polystyrene compactor becomes an ideal solution. It is a mechanical recycling method specifically designed for polystyrene recycling, using screw compression to compact foam boxes into high-density blocks. These blocks can be neatly stacked, improving storage efficiency and significantly increasing the recycling value of the foam.

For small-scale fish vendors, processing facilities are often limited in space, and the amount of discarded EPS fish boxes generated each month is relatively low. In such cases, a large EPS recycling machine is clearly not suited to their actual foam recycling needs.

To address this, GREENMAX has introduced the compact polystyrene compactor A-C50. This unit features a very small footprint, is easy to move, and can be flexibly positioned—even in tight corners of processing facilities. With a processing capacity of 50 kg per hour, it fully meets the daily polystyrene recycling requirements of small-scale operations.

The compact foam compactor features an intuitive operation that can be handled by a single person, and its daily maintenance is simple and hassle-free. In addition, GREENMAX provides detailed user and maintenance manuals, along with responsive after-sales service to help fish vendors carry out foam recycling more effectively.

Moreover, the compressed foam blocks produced by this polystyrene compactor retain their original chemical structure, ensuring better material performance during the re-pelletizing process. Thanks to their higher quality, these blocks are more desirable in the recycling market and can be used to manufacture new foam products.

As one of the world’s largest end users of recycled foam, GREENMAX has a high monthly demand for recycled polystyrene materials. When selecting raw material suppliers, customers who use the GREENMAX polystyrene compactor are given priority.

By selling compressed EPS blocks, fish vendors can quickly recover the investment cost of their polystyrene recycling equipment. With its affordable price, the compact machine allows for a short payback period—often within just a few months.

In many regions around the world, regulations on foam pollution have become increasingly strict. By using a GREENMAX polystyrene compactor, fish vendors can easily manage their foam waste, avoid fines, and achieve an environmentally friendly and economically viable foam recycling solution.
