Two years have passed since the emergence of the new crown epidemic, during which time the epidemic has spread to the world. Fortunately, scientists have developed a vaccine against the new crown. Under the influence of the epidemic, the demand for vaccines continues to increase. At the same time, how to deal with a large number of waste PE foam packaging has also become a headache for vaccine manufacturers. But people can believe that PE foam compactor has no problem helping reduce PE foam packaging waste and recycle them.



The emergence of COVID-19 is the most impactful and deadly of any outbreak in history. Therefore, people pay special attention to the vaccine of COVID-19. Since the vaccine was first introduced in late 2020, an estimated 6.9 billion doses have been administered. Especially now that mutated viruses are on the rise, and the demand for COVID-19 vaccine boosters is also growing. But behind every vaccine, there are complex transportation and packaging processes. In particular, the packaging industry has played an important role in the promotion of vaccines.



Being contained in small glass bottles, vaccines must be transported in a safe way. The physical and chemical properties of PE foam give it desirable properties. It is because of these properties that PE foam is an ideal material for vaccine packaging. First of all, PE foam is a harmless plastic, lightweight but human-friendly, so it can avoid damage caused by impact during transportation. Secondly, PE foam is waterproof and insulating, which can try to avoid the problem of vaccine contamination or deterioration. PE foam is highly resistant to strong corrosive chemicals such as solvents, acids, and bases. It is therefore suitable for providing a barrier or shielding to provide additional protection when storing vaccines. So, PE foam has played a significant role in the process of vaccines’ transportation.



Of course, we cannot turn a blind eye to such a huge amount of PE foam waste. Those vaccine makers can deal with their waste PE packaging through PE foam compactor. PE foam has stable chemistry that is convenient for recycling. PE foam compactor can compress it to reduce its volume for better recycling. INTCO Recycling is a PE foam recycling specialist that manufactures high-quality and customized GREENMAX PE foam compactors. And we provide a recycling solution for PE foam scraps and help the PE foam packaging company to solve their PE foam trouble. In the case of the raging epidemic, vaccines are the protection of our life safety, and PE foam compactors are the protection of our environment and resources.
