2023 is coming. New year, a new beginning, while recycling is a forever theme. In today's era of the abundant modern economy and rapid development, most people live a relatively rich material life, so they always throw waste away. Because they think waste is useless and should be thrown into garbage bins and landfills. There are still many people who don’t know much about waste recycling and its meaning, especially polystyrene recycling. As a matter of fact, waste recycling is an important concept that we take something that is no longer useful and reprocess it and turn it into something new. Among all waste materials, polystyrene is always overlooked. According to Box-N-Out, polystyrene takes up 25-30% of space in landfills globally. But the recycling rate of polystyrene is much lower than other materials. With the help of a polystyrene shredder, now we should take action and try our best to fill the gap in the recycling domain.



Polystyrene plastics have been widely used in electronics, electrical appliances, meters, cultural and educational supplies, instrument packaging, toys and household goods, and other fields. And because polystyrene density is small (16~32g/cm), low water absorption, heat insulation, sound insulation, shockproof, decoration, and molding performance is good, it has a wide range of applications in household appliances, fragile building materials, industrial accessories, and products of vibration reduction and transportation packaging, thermal insulation materials, food packaging. But these waste products even 500 years is difficult to degrade, resulting in increasing polystyrene and other waste, causing serious "white pollution" and damaging the ecological environment. So, to protect the environment and save resources, polystyrene recycling is necessary. Now polystyrene recycling industry has developed steadily and formed an entire industrial chain. The polystyrene shredder is a basic recycling machine, which can waste polystyrene into small pieces.



Why a polystyrene shredder is necessary? Among all recycling steps, disposing of waste polystyrene throw a polystyrene shredder is the first step. Through the polystyrene shredder, waste polystyrene will be crushed into small pieces, and then compressed by the melting device into ingots. Only if the polystyrene shredder cut waste polystyrene into pieces evenly, the late steps can finish smoothly. The ordinary recycling machine in the market is a densifier or compactor, each machine is equipped with a polystyrene shredder. So the importance of polystyrene shredder is obvious.



Now besides related businesses, many environmental organizations and communities have started calling upon people to collect and recycle their polystyrene waste. Such as Mecklenburg County, this county has planned a new program, to keep white-packing polystyrene out of the landfill. It’s a positive sign that polystyrene recycling is accepted by more and more people.
