Can Foam Densifier Make Foam#6 Not Be Excluded from the U.S. Plastic Recycling System?

Are you still cleaning after the holiday? Roswell can provide free recycling services for recycling holiday cartons or plastics. Residents can collect these items from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday at the Roswell recycling center at 11570 Maxwell Rd. Today, more and more such services are provided on all continents of the United States to promote plastic recycling. In addition to specific recycling activities, the roadside blue bins can also be used for residents to recycle plastics independently.



But when it comes to plastic recycling, we have to mention a key point, that is, the number in the recycling sign on plastic products. As a consumer, these numbers mean nothing to you. The numbering system from 1 to 7 is called resin identification code. It was developed in the late 1980s to help recyclers, not consumers, identify the type of resin used to make plastics. Among them, foam#6, also known as polystyrene, is a material that must be mentioned,

Even if foam#6 is plastic, it cannot be recycled in blue bins. Because it is mainly made of air, special machines are needed to remove the air and condense the material into blocks or ingots for resale. Foam densifier is a very popular foam recycling equipment.



In most cases, foam#6 is a kind of material that is not accepted by the existing recycling system. Moreover, many people hold the view that there is foam#6 almost no after-sales market because once the air is removed, there are few materials left and cannot be easily made into other items. However, the design of the foam densifier may change this situation. It has built a new circular economy system for foam#6.

First of all, it is worth mentioning that the recovery effect of foam densifier on foam#6 is complete. It can completely extrude the air accounting for up to 98% of foam#6 and compress it into ingots with a volume of only 1 / 90 by hot melting technology to complete the preliminary recovery. 



In addition to recycling, its reuse has also developed significantly under the promotion of the circular economy system. Foam#6 has been granulated by physical recovery and applied to the manufacture of other products such as frame again.

Therefore, many people go through a misunderstanding. Foam#6 not only can be 100% recycled but also the recycling value is very high. Nowadays, the recycling industry, especially the field of plastic particles, is booming, and foam#6 as raw material, has an extremely broad market. 

As a professional recycling machine, foam densifier has built an exclusive recycling chain for foam#6, so that it can safely enter the recycling system in the United States for secondary utilization.
