Can you imagine how wide the scope of application of expanded polystyrene foam is? When filled with air, polystyrene becomes expanded styrene foam (EPS). Expanded polystyrene foam is a well-known material used for everything from foam cups, bowls and plates to custom shipping packaging for fragile items. It can be said that expanded polystyrene foam can be seen everywhere in daily life. Compared with other plastics, polystyrene is low-cost, malleable, heat-resistant, and impact-resistant. Therefore, it is the perfect packaging material for various industries.

 

Studies have shown that polystyrene accounts for a significant portion of the "today's plastic packaging market". Recycling of polystyrene as well as expanded polystyrene should be stepped up to ensure that all of this polystyrene foam ends up being properly disposed of. Undoubtedly, this is the most effective way to prevent polystyrene foam from entering the natural environment, especially the ocean. The expanded polystyrene foam that enters the natural environment will turn into polystyrene foam beads under the influence of sunlight, other bad weather and natural conditions. Some of these beads are mistaken by birds, mammals and even marine life. food, causing the death of animals and affecting the quantity balance of species. At the same time, polystyrene foam is non-degradable and will exist in nature for a long time, causing unknown damage to the ecological balance.

 

If you want to recycle expanded polystyrene foam in an environment-friendly way, the first thing to consider is to completely prevent these waste foams from flowing into nature and strictly recycle these wastes. The air in expanded polystyrene foam must be squeezed out before it can be reused. Because it is often used as packaging, it is because of its expanded state that it has special properties that other materials do not have, and this expanded state just adds difficulty to the recycling process. During the recycling process, complaints are often heard: large volume, difficult transportation and other issues. Foam densifier is a recycling device developed for this phenomenon.

The best way to solve the pollution of expanded polystyrene foam is to utilize these materials, and using foam densifier to compress foam is a good choice for both upstream recyclers and downstream users. Because recycling needs to accumulate a certain amount to sell these foams, and in this process, we need to use foam densifier to reduce the volume of foam, which can save inventory space. For downstream buyers who purchase waste ingots, the compression ratio of GREENMAX foam densifier is 90:1, which helps to solve the problem of insufficient inventory and saves expensive transportation costs. There was a dispute over who would pay for the expensive transportation costs, and foam desifier successfully resolved this problem.

When recycling expanded polystyrene, it is a wise and necessary choice to use foam densifier. If you want to know more details, please feel free to consult GREENMAX!
