In a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team led by Liu Guoliang, an associate professor of chemistry in the College of Science at Virginia Tech, proposed a new method for polystyrene recycling. By exposing the material to ultraviolet light and adding a chemical catalyst, a product called diphenylmethane (DPM) is generated, which can be used as a fragrance in drug development and consumer products.

The market price of DPM is 10 times that of other materials that can currently be made from recycled polystyrene, which can fully cover the cost of collecting and recycling waste foam, greatly promoting the progress of polystyrene recycling. Additionally, waste foam can also be compacted and granulated into recycled PS particles, which can be applied to a variety of environmentally friendly products, realizing the cycle of polystyrene recycling.

Foam blocks compacted by polystyrene densifier can be traded and realized, becoming an investment with stable income for enterprises, with environmental protection and economic benefits. GREENMAX polystyrene densifier compacts loose foam into tight foam ingots, which not only improves transportation efficiency by 90 times, but also enables companies to earn considerable profits from the sale of foam ingots.

Polystyrene recycling is already a trend, and many companies are participating in it. The complete polystyrene recycling process includes compression, granulation, etc., involving polystyrene melting machine and foam granulator. If you want to make a simple investment in polystyrene recycling, you can purchase a polystyrene densifier to perform the first step in the recycling process. Polystyrene granulation requires a complete production line.

Compared with traditional machines such as cold-press compactor, the foam ingots produced by GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine are more popular with downstream recyclers. Because the polystyrene densifier has a compression ratio of 90:1, it can greatly improve the efficiency of transportation and warehousing management. Moreover, the density of hot-melt materials is 600-800kg/m3, which can significantly improve the granulation efficiency, while the granulation capacity of cold-pressed materials is far lower than the basic capacity of the granulator.

Additionally, GREENMAX polystyrene densifier Mars series can handle different types and densities of materials, such as XPS, EPP, EPE, etc., to meet customers' recycling needs. The polystyrene melting machine can achieve the best material volume reduction effect, and a truck can load 20-25 tons of hot-melt polystyrene.

In addition to the excellent performance of the machine itself, GREENMAX can also provide you with customized polystyrene recycling solution and excellent after-sales service. We will first design and build the polystyrene densifier based on our in-depth understanding of customer materials and factory space information to ensure that it meets the actual recycling needs of customers.

When the machine arrives at the customer's factory, GREENMAX will assist customers in machine and personnel training so that customers can get started with the polystyrene melting machine as soon as possible. If you have any questions about the use or maintenance of the machine, GREENMAX engineers can provide timely video communication. Moreover, we have agent partners in many regions around the world to ensure that we can help customers solve problems online and offline in a timely manner.

As a global leader in polystyrene recycling, GREENMAX hopes to do its utmost to help governments, businesses and communities solve the problem of foam accumulation and achieve natural recycling.
