Dart Container, a provider of sustainable food packaging solutions, held its quarterly Styrofoam recycling event on July 20 at the former Ram Stadium in Rockford.

The Styrofoam recycling event is a free community service designed to provide Rockford community residents with a convenient way to recycle foam containers. Accepted materials include clean foam takeout containers, cups, egg cartons and packaging. The collected foam products can be transported to nearby recycling companies or specialized recycling facilities. Because foam is a lightweight container material, a special foam compactor is required to reduce the volume in order to facilitate subsequent Styrofoam recycling. Recycling companies that accept foam containers generally have Styrofoam compactors, which are specially designed to compress foam, and can improve transportation and space management capabilities by dozens of times.

The compressed Styrofoam blocks can be sold to other recycling companies to make PS particles, which can be made into environmentally friendly products like bicycle helmets, insulation boards, floors, etc. The market demand for recycled foam particles is very broad, and Styrofoam recycling is also an investment project with stable returns. However, there are strict international standards for the quality of recycled PS particles, and only particles that meet the requirements can be used in production. Therefore, it is very important to choose a professional foam compactor supplier with good after-sales service. As a leader in the field of recycled materials, INTCO Recycling produces high-quality recycled products such as environmentally friendly photo frames, outdoor floors, and attractive wall panels. In order to form a closed-loop industrial chain for foam containers recycling, INTCO Recycling has conducted in-depth research on a one-stop Styrofoam recycling solution and developed a professional GREENMAX foam compactor.

Foam compactor compacts loose foam into dense foam blocks at a ratio of 50:1, greatly improving transportation efficiency and storage space management efficiency, while helping companies save a lot of foam processing costs. The Styrofoam compactor is equipped with a sharp crushing device that can crush large pieces of foam into uniform foam fragments. And the foam compactor will be customized and built based on a deep understanding of the customer's Styrofoam materials. For example, for foams with higher density or higher hardness, INTCO Recycling will be equipped with a double-axis screw crusher to better carry out Styrofoam recycling. After that, the Styrofoam fragments will fall into the compaction bin and be continuously squeezed by the screw until they are formed. GREENMAX compactor uses screw physical compression technology, and the material compatibility is very high. It can handle foams such as EPP and XPS. In addition, the foam compactor is particularly suitable for handling water-containing foam containers, such as fishing boxes, and the water in the foam will not have any effect on the recycling of foam containers. When the foam blocks are formed, the automatic cutting device of the Styrofoam compactor will cut the foam blocks into fixed sizes, which can be placed on pallets for subsequent transportation by truck or container.

Additionally, INTCO Recycling provides good after-sales service, including online video communication and offline agent guidance, as well as detailed foam compactor operation guides, to help customers carry out the most convenient Styrofoam recycling.
