The expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam market is expected to flourish at a steady CAGR of 11.4% between 2023 and 2033, according to Global News Service. The market share is expected to reach $5.52 billion by 2033, while by 2023 it could be worth $1.87 billion.

EPP foam has properties such as waterproofing, thermal insulation, recyclability and durability, so it dominates as a material in many fields. Due to the need for cushioning properties in seats and other automotive parts, the application of EPP is leading the automotive industry, with a market share of 40.0% in 2022. At the same time, with the absorption of new advancements, EPP also has a broad market in the construction industry. In addition to this, smart packaging with thermal insulation functions, more online shopping activities, and other industrial applications have also increased the sales of EPP foam.

Therefore, the EPP recycling market is also quite broad, and discarded EPP is also a very important resource, of which the whole recycling process is easy with the assistance of a professional EPP recycling machine. GREENMAX Zeus series foam compactor, offered by INTCO Recycling, can compress EPP foam into dense blocks at the ratio of 50:1. The compactor is equipped with surface hot melting technology, which can effectively prevent the internal loosening and expansion of the compressed foam. The belt conveyor can transport waste EPP to the machine's cutting chamber, saving labor. Then, the discarded EPP will be broken into pieces by the screw cutter and fall into the silo at the bottom. After that it will be compressed into EPP blocks and extruded by the screw. At the same time, the machine is equipped with automatic transmission and cutting functions, which improves the automation and convenience of production.

This machine makes the recycling of EPP simple, efficient and safe. Meanwhile, INTCO Recycling provides customers with complete after-sales services. For the use of machines, the team provides customers with services such as machine installation and debugging, employee training, etc. We adhere to the principle of customer first, and the team will visit customers every year to check the use of the machine on site, listen to customers' opinions, and continuously improve the quality and functionality of GREENMAX recycling machines.

These compressed EPP foam blocks can be sold to manufacturers to produce new products, such as PP non-woven fabrics. Therefore, customers do not have to worry that EPP recycling is a task with only cost investment and no reporting. In fact, the cost investment is temporary, and customers will soon be able to obtain a steady stream of profit income from EPP recycling.
