Only a century has passed since the birth of plastic and the widespread use of EPS in the last century. We must now admit that we are now enjoying the convenience of EPS products. Low prices and stable product performance make EPS irreplaceable in many industries. However, INTCO Recycling believes that while we enjoy the convenience provided by EPS, we must also be responsible for EPS recycling.



EPS products are convenient for us, but they are also a major part of plastic waste. The world produces more than 400 million tons of plastic each year, most of which is made from fossil fuels. Since the 1950s, the amount of waste has increased rapidly, with about half of the waste coming from EPS packaging. The United States and Japan are the world's largest EPS producers. However, the EPS recycling rate in the United States is not very high. The reason is that the EPS recycling hype is not supported by every state government.



The current EPS recycling process is not well understood by everyone. Therefore, when it comes to EPS recycling, many people's first reaction is to express doubts. Yes, how to recycle this lightweight expanded material? Is anyone willing to buy this EPS waste? Some environmentalists and organizations salvage EPS buoys and EPS waste from the ocean. But the real question is what to do with this recyclable material after it is used once globally. We need a standardized process.



Of course, choosing more environmentally friendly materials is one way to reduce waste pollution, but if existing technology and financial resources do not allow you to choose more high-tech raw materials, foam recycling may be better. Due to its light weight and large volume, the first step in the recycling process is to choose a suitable EPS volume reduction method that compresses the foam as much as possible to reduce its volume. In the face of many EPS products, GREENMAX EPS compactor is one of the preferred foam processing equipment for many enterprises. For the past 12 years, we decided to serve customers all over the world and customize their EPS collection systems.



For enterprises, a complete EPS recycling system is not only a way to solve EPS recycling problems, but also can bring recycling benefits to enterprises. While protecting the environment, it is also beneficial to businesses. As a long-term practitioner in the recycling industry, INTCO has created as many EPS recycling solutions as possible for customers, which also brings greater economic benefits to customers. Taking responsibility for EPS recycling is something we should all do.
