Naperville will hold a citywide Styrofoam recycling event on Aug. 10, collecting items including foam packaging, containers, and clean Styrofoam food cups. People who want to implement Styrofoam packaging recycling can drop off the foam at Frontier Sports Complex at 3380 Cedar Glade Drive from 9 a.m. to noon.

All collected Styrofoam will be sent to the Dart Container facility in North Aurora, which provides Styrofoam recycling services. After professional processing, the foam packaging is transformed into foam blocks and PS particles, which can be mixed with virgin plastic to make environmentally friendly products such as sound-absorbing wall panels, bicycle helmets, photo frames, etc., forming a circular economy for Styrofoam. This is a mechanical recycling method, and the entire Styrofoam packaging recycling process requires the involvement of some foam recycling machines like foam compactor, Styrofoam granulator and so on. These foam recycling machines help build a circular economy model for Styrofoam recycling.

Foam compactors are mainly used to reduce the volume of foam, compressing waste materials into compact foam blocks, and improving the efficiency of transportation and storage space management. INTCO Recycling, as a high-tech manufacturing through recycled materials, has independently developed a professional GREENMAX foam compactor hydraulic series, which compresses foam to one-seventieth of its original volume through hydraulic principles. For companies that use a lot of foam packaging, such as seafood fishmongers, the large accumulation of packaging materials will lead to non-compliance with the 5S standards on site and fire safety risks. Some companies choose to pay recyclers to deal with waste foam materials. However, recyclers may not be able to deal with them in time, and the processing costs are quite high. Companies can choose to use the foam processing costs of several months to install a foam compactor for Styrofoam recycling. The foam blocks manufactured by this foam recycling machine can be sold to INTCO Recycling at a preferential price, and the return on investment of the machine will be obtained soon. Styrofoam packaging recycling can become an investment project with stable income for the company.

INTCO Recycling will use the foam blocks it has purchased to make PS particles through the foam granulator, and put them into the production process of recycled products, forming a complete Styrofoam recycling and reuse model. INTCO Recycling has mature production technology and multiple production lines to process recycled particles into frame strips, skirtings, outdoor floors and other products, which will be sold in major supermarkets around the world. Therefore, INTCO Recycling has sufficient theoretical and practical experience to provide customers with Styrofoam packaging recycling solutions and professional foam compactors, Styrofoam granulators and other foam recycling machines. In addition, in order to carry out one-stop Styrofoam recycling, INTCO Recycling provides customers with sales solutions for foam blocks. We purchase foam blocks or provide customers with other local sales channels.
