EPS Compactor Can Recycle EPS Catering Containers During COVID-19

Recently, even in covid-19, people have not given up the emotional appeal in life. Drinking a cup of coffee can make you concentrate more at work, which has become the habit of many office workers. No matter where you drink coffee, you will hold a disposable EPS cup. In addition to coffee, daily takeout is also packaged in EPS takeout containers.

However, although EPS is widely used, its impact on the environment has been fiercely criticized by environmentalists. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2018 alone, Americans produced about 80000 tons of EPS containers, with less than 5000 tons recycled. In addition, about 140000 tons of EPS bags and other products were produced in 2018, and only about 20000 tons were recycled.



If the use of EPS materials cannot be avoided, the best way is to dispose of them properly. Don't throw it into the trash can because it's a way to cause problems. Instead, you can send it to a recycling facility that accepts EPS. Now, with the popularity of EPS compactors, EPS recycling facilities have been preliminarily constructed.

EPS compactor has been welcomed by recyclers with special cold pressing recovery means, avoiding the original unreasonable recovery method of EPS. You know, throwing EPS products into the recycle bin will actually pollute the whole recycle bin. This may cause the entire bin to be rejected when it arrives at the recycling facility.



Many people may not know the reason for this phenomenon. This is because EPS contains harmful toxins. If these toxins are decomposed through the recycling process, they may eventually appear in the products used in our daily life. Especially when EPS enters the ocean with the waste stream, it will not only cause harm to marine organisms but also threaten our health after these organisms are caught and finally brought to the table.



Therefore, the proper treatment of EPS containers by EPS compactor can not only promote the discovery of EPS circular economy but also have a far-reaching and long-term impact on environmental protection.
