In addition to the collection of electronic waste, yard waste, and home compost, the town of Vail, Colorado also has added a Styrofoam recycling event, receiving the foam packaging of electronic products and Styrofoam coolers this year.

This spring recycling event will be held on May 10 in the parking lot of Ford Park. After the event, a recycling company in Colorado will recycle and handle the collected white Styrofoam waste. The current recycling rate of the USA and Colorado is 32% and 16% respectively. Until 2023, the recycling rate of Vail town has reached 36%, but the town still has work to do for diverting recyclable materials like Styrofoam and becoming a zero-waste community. Styrofoam recycling not only can divert waste foam products from landfills, reducing the burden on the environment, but also can convert them into brand new environmentally friendly products, realizing a close loop of recycling. And a professional Styrofoam densifier is indispensable for Styrofoam recycling, making the whole recycling process twice the result with half the effort undoubtedly.

Large amounts of waste foam used to be discarded in landfills. Communities and companies usually have to spend high transportation costs and landfill disposal costs, however, with the continuous development of Styrofoam-based recycling facilities, Styrofoam recycling has been a trend. Communities and companies not only don’t need to pay significant fees to dispose of waste foam, but also can obtain long-term and stable profits from Styrofoam recycling, which can be achieved by investing in a Styrofoam densifier. Due to Styrofoam being lightweight and bulky, transportation is highly inefficient and costly. Hence, it is necessary to use a Styrofoam densifier for volume reduction, convenient for subsequent processes. GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier, belonging to INTCO Recycling, can efficiently compact loose foam and the operation is very simple, greatly saving labor costs.

GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier uses three-stage temperature control technology to minimize the negative impact of moisture in the foam on the Styrofoam recycling process and improve the working efficiency of the machine. The compression ratio of the Styrofoam recycling equipment is as high as 90:1, which is one of the main advantages of the hot melting machine that is more favored by consumers than cold-press compactors and hydraulic compactors on the market. During the working process of the hot melting machine, some odor will be produced due to the high temperature melting foam, but GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier has passed the SGS hot melting machine odor test to ensure that the gas does not pollute the environment and is harmless to the human body. The Styrofoam densifier is highly automated and can be equipped with conveyor belts and sensors. A recycling employee puts large pieces of foam into the conveyor belt, and the foam will be automatically transported to the feeding port. The sensor can sense that the foam in the silo is full. At this time, this employee can sort out the foam ingots in the hopper and place them on the pallet without continuing to feed. Therefore, only one recycling employee is needed to complete Styrofoam recycling, saving labor costs for communities and businesses.

GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier is a multi-purpose machine and can also handle EPP, XPS, EPE, etc. If customers need to recycle other materials in the future, this machine can undoubtedly meet your needs. In addition, INTCO Recycling also provides our machine customers with sales solutions for foam compressed ingots. We will provide foam ingot repurchase services at a preferential price or provide customers with other sales channels, so that customers can perform Styrofoam recycling without worries.
