These foams are made from fossil fuels, according to Beyond Plastics, and they do not biodegrade over time. Instead, they break down into smaller pieces, eventually becoming microplastics. They can be ingested by animals and have toxic effects. It may contains chemical additives and has been linked to health impacts in humans. In an effort to cut down on the amount of such foam in the environment, the new program offers foam recycling at five of JB Green Team’s recycling locations in Belmont County and five of its Jefferson County sites.

The five locations in Jefferson County are the Fort Steuben Mall, a recycling drop-off site in Tiltonsville, a Toronto drop-off site, an Adna drop-off site and a Bergholz drop-off site.The Belmont County locations are near Ohio Route 331 in Old Fair and St. Clairsville, the Martins Ferry City Garage, a Shadyside drop-off site and a Harmony Road drop-off site in Barnesville.

Since the launch of recycling activities in New Jersey in 2016, more than 35 foam recycling systems are now in operation in 12 states, providing unprecedented foam recycling services to more than 11 million residents. The JB Green Team is excited to bring this effective solution to new areas. Professional equipment will be used to compress the loose styrofoam into dense ingots. At present, as the equipment with the highest compression ratio, the styrofoam hot melting machine can compress the loose foam to one-90th of its original volume. Through Zhuoye's hot melting technology, the air in the loose foam is squeezed out, and recycling is successfully achieved to help residents solve white pollution.

GREENMAX styrofoam hot melting machine can not only recycle large pieces of styrofoam, but also recycle styrofoam dust. This is one of the characteristics of our recycling equipment. Because in the recycling process, the uncompressed waste styrofoam is relatively loose and easy to produce beads or dust. In order to meet the needs of customers, GREENMAX styrofoam hot melting machine accepts customization to solve all difficulties of customers.
