The rise of e-commerce and logistics transportation has brought a lot of convenience to consumers, but the accompanying Styrofoam packaging has become a huge burden.

Major companies such as Amazon say they are working to reduce packaging and find recycling options or alternative packaging materials. Of the 380 million tons of plastic produced each year, about half of it is destined for single-use use, such as single-use Styrofoam packaging. When the Styrofoam is disposed of in landfills, it breaks down and releases methane into the atmosphere, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Styrofoam is widely used in the packaging market due to its low cost, shock absorption, waterproofing and other qualities. However, at the same time, most companies treat it as a single-use packaging material and do not properly dispose of waste foam plastic, which has a huge negative impact on the environment. In fact, Styrofoam is completely recyclable. People mistakenly believe that Styrofoam recycling requires a lot of investment without any return, but the fact is that recycled Styrofoam can bring additional and continuous profitable revenue to the company. Sending waste foam to landfills requires high landfill fees, processing fees, and transportation costs. This is actually a cost investment with no return at all.

The processed Styrofoam can be sold to local recyclers for use in recycled products, providing a steady return on investment. Therefore, recycling Styrofoam not only brings environmental benefits, but also brings economic benefits to the company. If you are not willing to spend the time and effort in finding a downstream buyer for your recycled foam, you also have the option of selling your foam plastic to INTCO Recycling. We are a recycler and manufacturer of Styrofoam, with mature technology and production lines. Through recycling, regeneration and utilization, waste foam plastic can be made into foam particles, which can then be used to make various environmentally friendly frames and sold all over the world.

The GREENMAX foam pelletizer, part of INTCO Recycling, converts compressed foam ingots into Styrofoam particles for subsequent recycled product manufacturing. The machine is highly automated and has a special screw structure, which greatly saves manpower. At the same time, we provide customers with customized design services. The GREENMAX foam pelletizer can be used independently or integrated into the entire system with crushers and compactors to achieve integrated operations.
