The amendments to the Basel Convention, which came into effect on 1 January 2021, cut off the possibility of thousands of plastic waste being exported to non-OECD and non-European countries. A lot of foam waste can only be blocked in Europe. How to dispose of waste foam has become an urgent problem for every enterprise, especially the big ones who are more responsible for the environment. In Europe, some big companies have become industry recycling specialists, such as Hirsch and Bewi, for their effective EPS recycling. Some smaller recycling companies are also doing a good job of EPS recycling. But when it comes to EPP recycling, we will think of nobody, which is really a pity. However, PRO EPP Sp.zo.o has put a lot of effort into EPP recycling (expanded polypropylene). They will change this situation.



PRO EPP Sp.zo.o is a recycling company established by Izoblok, the largest EPP producer in Poland, specializing in recycling EPP. Izoblok mass-produces a wide range of components and expanded polypropylene (EPP) finished products and provides service solutions for the food, automotive, transportation, modeling, medical, and many other industries. This is a young, dynamic and responsible team. As a large company, they actively fulfill their environmental responsibility by providing an EPP recycling solution throughout Eastern Europe.

In 2019, they have already begun to think about how to recycle EPP waste in their factories, and then reuse them in new products to achieve a circular economy. EPP bumper scrap from automotive production is difficult to recycle because it has steel in it and is bulky. But PRO.EPP is still determined to recycle EPP waste, and finally, they found INTCO Recycling was a good partner. After understanding their needs, the engineers of INTCO Recycling decided to customize an EPP compactor for them. Although machines can be mass-produced, when different materials are processed, the components of the compactor need to be debugged. According to different materials, the size of the blade in the crusher, the temperature of the operating chamber, and the size of the discharge port are all in need of adjusting and experimentation. According to the requirements of PRO EPP, a customized GREENMAX EPP compactor has been made, which fully met the needs of PRO EPP and helped them solve the problem of EPP recycling.



The entire operation process of the EPP compactor is not complicated. Employees only need to collect the EPP waste and put it into the machine. Once the discarded EPP scraps are put into the EPP compactor, it will be shredded firstly. After crushing, these EPP fragments are compressed into clumps and processed into pellets. Finally, these pellets will be used in the creation of new products. The whole recycling process realizes the recycling of EPP waste, and this process is the best choice for dealing with a large amount of EPP waste. If you are also worried about how to deal with EPP waste, why not consider of GREENMAX EPP compactor? The EPP compactor provided by INTCO Recycling can first shred your EPP waste and then compress it to reduce the volume and save the transportation cost. In addition, INTCO Recycling can buy back EPP blocks processed by GREENMAX machine. INTCO has a production line aiming at making waste foam into new frame products. So, INTCO Recycling can provide you with an EPP recycling solution, which is also an environmentally friendly and profitable way.
