The recycling of EPS has never stopped, and such recycling events are always held in our area and surrounding areas. Kalamazoo, Michigan just held an EPS recycling event to help the surrounding residents get rid of EPS waste. We should not pay less attention to the waste EPS in residents' garbage than the EPS produced in the industrial field, because with the wide application of EPS packaging, more and more residents find that there will be a large amount of waste EPS left after shopping at home. Residents with a strong awareness of environmental protection will put these EPS wastes into warehouses for regular and reasonable unified treatment, while some residents directly throw them into trash bins for various reasons.

 

The recycling drop-off for Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 31, at Mayors’ Riverfront Park, 251 Mills St. The activity leader arranged volunteers to assist in the parking lot of the park, because in this EPS recycling activity, we will recycle as much as possible all the EPS waste brought by the residents. At the same time, the event reminded that many packages around us do not have the obvious number 6 marked, but they also belong to EPS. If you are not sure, you can consult the staff on site.

There has been demand to continue the collection events beyond the pilot program, Dever said. Volunteers help run the collections, which are planned to continue in 2023, the city said. If you want to improve the recycling efficiency of EPS, you can't just rely on increasing recycling points, but you need to have an efficient EPS compactor to cooperate.

 

The community usually donates or sells EPS to professional recycling factories after carrying out EPS recycling activities, so transportation and storage have become key issues. Now more and more communities are aware of this problem, and many recycling points have allocated funds for investing in EPS recycling machines, because the transportation and storage of EPS requires sufficient space and expensive transportation costs. EPS is full of air, and only a few pieces of packaging can fill the trailer's compartment. Repeated transportation is obviously a clumsy way, and it is unrealistic. Therefore, recycling with EPS compactor, an EPS recycling machine, has become the mainstream recycling method.

 

Whether the whole EPS recycling process is smooth or not depends mainly on the transportation process, because there are many companies that acquire waste EPS now, reusing EPS is no longer a problem. What needs attention is whether EPS donors and EPS users can reach a consensus on transportation costs and storage costs. Many EPS recycling programs fail because of disagreement on shipping costs. Using EPS compactor to compact the waste can effectively avoid this problem. The volume of EPS blocs compressed by EPS compactor is 1/50 of the original volume, which saves a considerable part of transportation costs and storage space, and makes the whole recycling process smooth and simple.

Recycling the waste EPS produced in residents' lives is not a trivial matter, and people should pay attention to it. This is also one of the effective ways to solve EPS. With the GREENMAX EPS compactor, recycling becomes easy and convenient!
