Over 8 billion tons of plastic have been used on our planet, and each year we add about 385 million more. Less than 10% of all that plastic is actually recycled annually. The remainder builds up in landfills, congests our oceans, and even seeps into our bodies in tiny form. With the popularization of the recycling concept, EPS plastic has been increasing year by year from the initial 0 recycling rate, but there is still a situation: Some companies would rather risk violating environmental laws to discard, landfill, and incinerate waste EPS. Why is this?

 

After interviewing the heads of related industries in the United States, GREENMAX concluded, on the one hand, people think that EPS is full of air, we can only get a very small amount of usable material from a large number of EPS, and the recycling cost is high, on the other hand, because some EPS packaging (EPS disposable lunch boxes, EPS fish boxes) will be contaminated by food during the transportation of food, this part of EPS cannot be recycled in people's eyes or requires higher recycling costs. If you have an EPS recycling plan, then you don't need to worry about these two points at all. GREENMAX EPS cold compactor and EPS washing line can perfectly solve these two problems.

 

EPS cold compactor reduces foam volume

It is undeniable that the recyclable part of EPS is small, but have you ever thought that if the total amount of waste EPS is enough, the EPS you will receive is not a small amount? Another point is that if we decide not to recycle EPS, this EPS will be in the natural environment for a long time, and its huge volume will lead us to be in a "white world". Only one EPS cold compactor is needed to solve this problem. Before all recycling steps, we use EPS cold compactor to squeeze out 95%-98% of the air in EPS, compressing the volume to 1/50 of the original, reducing transportation and storage costs. Investing in just one recycling equipment can bring a steady stream of recycled materials, which not only saves recycling costs but helping the company make money in the form of recycling.

 

EPS washing line helps recycle dirty EPS

Generally, there will be blood in the EPS fish boxes. This kind of box does not need special treatment unless there is residual rotten fish or too much water. If there is too much water, we only need to dump it, and then use EPS cold compactor Marine standards to recycle wet EPS fish boxes. For recycling wet waste EPS, GREENMAX specially made EPS cold compactor stainless steel to prevent rust. People are most concerned about how to recycle dirty EPS lunch boxes. GREENMAX's latest EPS washing line can wash dirty EPS before compression, but it should be noted that although EPS can be washed, it needs to be scrubbed as little as possible at that time because the material is easier to break. It is then combined with EPS cold compactor and compressed after cleaning.
