Recycling EPS Foam Correctly Is Feasible and Economical
In recent years, the American government has tried to reduce EPS foam pollution and is looking for a material that can replace EPS foam. Especially the United States has invested more than 6 billion dollars in the research of biodegradable materials that can replace EPS foam, but it will take a long time to put them into wide use.
With the design of various recycling machines, EPS foam recycling technology has quite mature EPS foam recycling machines. As a representative of EPS foam thickener, as a recycling machine based on the principle of hot melt technology, it is welcomed by many customers for its high recycling efficiency.
For the EPS foam-related industries, the interests of course come first. Maybe people think that buying a recycling machine will cost a lot. However, in the two laws of Pennsylvania: Increasing the disposal fee of municipal waste landfills from US$4 per ton to US$8 per ton, the landfill operator pays for the waste received by their landfills. The recycling fee has been increased from $2 per ton to $5 per ton. Landfill costs have greatly increased, and it is obvious that landfill is no longer a good choice. But EPS foam densifier can recycle EPS foam into blocks, which can be sold and recycled. So, EPS foam densifier will save a lot of landfill costs.
For example, Living Spaces, with 18 locations in the United States, so has a large amount of waste foam packaging. In the past Living Space usually offered their foam and paid a high expense to the recyclers. When Living Space realized there was another way to dispose of EPS foam, they began to purchase a GREENMAX M-C300 melting system and tried to dispose of waste packaging by itself for the first time. Then in the next several years, it ordered two more M-C300 for other locations. GREENMAX EPS foam densifier does help solve the problem of high recycling fees, reduce pollution, and even offer a new approach to profits.
EPS foam is a 100% fully recycled material and should be disposed of properly. Obviously, the method of EPS foam recycling can make it reborn as new usable material. With no perfect substitution of EPS foam, it’s not a good choice to ban it. EPS foam recycling in the correct way is the best method for both people and the environment.
