Polystyrene has been born for a hundred years and has been integrated into our lives. The development of many industries relies on EPS foam, such as fishery, catering industry, and logistics and transportation industry. Like PET beverage bottles, they have become the most common plastic waste in our daily life. 

However, different from the ubiquitous PET bottle recycling points, the recycling of EPS foam is not so easy. This is because there was once a technical barrier to the recycling of EPS foam. When the barrier cannot be broken, even if the recycling point is set, the EPS foam will only be landfilled and burned in the end.



How should we make a choice in the face of the difficulty of EPS foam recycling? Prohibition is obviously not an objective choice. Taking the logistics industry as an example, there is no substitute with higher cost performance than EPS foam for the time being. So, if we are doomed to be inseparable from EPS foam, how can we better "solve the problem"? Recycling may be the right answer.

With the rapid development of the Internet, online shopping has become an indispensable existence in people's life. What came into being is the rapid growth of the logistics industry. However, during transportation, a large number of EPS foam boxes are used and then discarded. Unconsciously, these EPS foam, as a one-time wipe and chat, is becoming a problem for the environment. The three difficulties of EPS foam treatment are difficult to degrade, harmful to health, and difficult to recycle.



EPS foam recycling is not an emerging industry in the United States. It has been quietly developing for decades. GREENMAX Recycling, located in California, has made great achievements in the research and development of EPS foam densifiers. Rooted in this industry for decades, GREENMAX has mastered the latest industry trends and is constantly learning better EPS foam recycling technology.

GREENMAX is not only a manufacturer of the EPS foam densifier but also operates EPS foam ingots procurement business. So it is always more concerned about the dynamics of bubbles. How should EPS foam be recycled?



1. Personal recycling
To put it simply, if you open a company or store a lot of EPS foam boxes, you can buy an EPS foam densifier to compress the EPS foam boxes. They will be turned into foam cakes, which can be sold to GREENMAX for profit. The volume of the compressed foam can be changed to 1/90. This amazing compression ratio can save your storage area and save more rent.

2. Centralized processing
Of course, if your EPS foam amount is not stable, only occasionally, and the volume is not large. You can contact the local bubble recovery manufacturer, or participate in the United States local recycling events, the EPS foam transport in the past to recover and solve, the cost you pay is handling fees, freight, and so on. The premise is that the amount of EPS foam is not large, otherwise, the simple transportation cost will also be a headache.
