Recycling events are taking place in Johnson County, Carona and Riverside, and a wide range of waste materials are being recycled. Residents and businesses in the area can participate in the recycling program. This recycling mainly includes recycling glass, discarded electronic products, waste cardboard and some types of plastics. However, there are two big flaws in this recycling. If these two flaws are solved, recycling activities in the region will achieve unexpected results.

The foam recycled this time does not contain styrofoam

According to the survey, among all waste plastics, the largest proportion is PET plastic, which is the disposable beverage bottle we usually use, and the second largest proportion is styrofoam plastic. Styrofoam was not accepted at this event, which is a big pity. One of the main reasons why Styrofoam recycling cannot be carried out is because the volume of this waste is too large, 98% of which is air. Especially for recycling activities with communities, the huge volume of waste has certain effects on various recycling links. difficulty. But for community styrofoam recycling, it is not impossible. Many communities are currently using styrofoam melting machines for recycling. The main function of the Styrofoam melting machine is to squeeze out the air in waste. The machinery brand GREENMAX produced by INTCO Recycling provides a styrofoam melting machine with a compression ratio of 90:1. Currently, this equipment has been put into styrofoam recycling activities in some communities.

Non-residents of this area are not allowed to participate in this recycling event.

In fact, we advocate that several surrounding communities and regions share one recycling point, because it is convenient to collect waste together. If the styrofoam melting machine is put into use, residents in several surrounding areas can drive and recycle their daily life. The styrofoam packaging accumulated in the warehouse is brought to a designated location for compression and recycling. The styrofoam melting machine placed on site can perform compression in a timely manner. In this way, the surrounding styrofoam can be collected and a sufficient amount of styrofoam ingots can be obtained in a short time, speeding up the efficiency of styrofoam recycling.
