You are likely to hear a lot of negative information about plastic. In fact, the global production of plastic has increased too fast for people to deal with plastic products waste. Now almost about 60% of plastic has ended up in landfills or our natural environment. And the building and construction industry is the second largest use sector for plastics. Especially waste foam building products are hard to dispose of because its large volume and lightweight. We have to take measures to reduce waste and pollution.



Someone hosts a kind of view that it’s feasible to avoid using foam building products completely. But after deep consideration, others are opposed to this. Foam building products now can’t be well replaced for their insulation and other advantages. Instead, we should be confident in the force of the market driving innovation. How about taking foam recycling into consideration?



In the building and construction industry, both XPS and EPS can be recycled like thermoplastic materials due to their material properties, which means that both XPS and EPS could theoretically have a commercial life. Now EPS foam and XPS foam recycling has begun in some areas. Some companies and traders try to recycle foam through a suitable machine. There are actually some professional recycling experts such as INTCO Recycling. INTCO Recycling manufactures high-quality and customized GREENMAX foam recycling machines. According to different sorts of foam, INTCO will adjust accessories and procedures to recycle foam waste. Hence, those waste foam building products can be recycled through professional machines.



Now that we know that building foam is theoretically recyclable, let's get back to reality. While truly sustainable plastics do not exist today, and we are still a long way from that day, trust in technology. At present, for us, the most environmentally friendly and profitable way is to carry out foam recycling through machines. And INTCO Recycling can provide suitable machines and services, which will be the strongest backing for enterprises conducting foam recycling.
