Lasqueti Island is a small island in Canada. This area is not a very popular tourist destination, but it also suffers from plastic pollution. Every summer, people go to clean up the coastline of the area to maintain the beauty of the natural environment. During the cleanup activity, we found that most of the plastic pollution was our common waste EPS. 70 volunteers removed two tons of garbage in just half a day - two tractor trailers, EPS accounted for a large proportion.

Due to its lightweight and low price, EPS has become a popular material for marine building materials facilities and seafood transportation and breeding. The waste EPS accumulated on the coastline mostly comes from marine EPS buoys, EPS seafood packaging, EPS fish boxes, etc. If volunteer hours were paid at minimum wage, the cost of these efforts would exceed $2,000 per kilometer. Considering British Columbia's 25,000 kilometers of coastal coastline, these cleanups represent a huge financial and social cost to the coastal communities that shoulder this responsibility. We should recycle these EPS products after they have completed their mission, so that not only can we save a lot of waste disposal fees, but also make a profit with the help of the EPS recycling system. 

GREENMAX recommends the source industry of EPS waste actively cooperate with relevant departments to use EPS compactors for EPS recycling. The reason why GREENMAX recommends using an EPS compactor is that most EPS waste generated by the coastline is wet and infiltrated by seawater and has high salinity. GREENMAX EPS compactor has a marine standard model specially designed for marine debris and is made of stainless steel to prevent corrosion. EPS compactor can be used to recycle EPS in time, compress it to 1/50 of its original volume to form a dense block, and apply this compressed EPS to the EPS recycling system for granulation. 

You don't have to worry about the downstream buyers of EPS at all. On the one hand, the market for this kind of recycled material is very good, and the reuse of EPS is very popular. On the other hand, GREENMAX also provides an EPS compactor and buys back EPS. We have a complete and professional EPS recycling system, making waste EPS into frames and selling them all over the world.
