Since the end of last year, BASF chemical company located in Germany has jointly launched the project of using plastic waste to produce "Styropor Ccycled" with the packaging company Vartdal Plast in Norway and the furniture company Ekornes to achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction. An advance in EPS production and utilization. Mounir El'Mourabit, Product Manager at Vartdal Plast, said: "We are delighted to be working with BASF and Ekornes on this project. It is a testament to our shared commitment to a more sustainable future."

BASF obtains this oil from technological partners who convert post-consumer plastic trash that would otherwise be utilized for energy recovery or landfilled into this secondary raw material through a thermochemical process called pyrolysis. BASF handed over the new material to Vartdal Plast, which in turn manufactures products for the furniture company Ekornes. This chemical technology on EPS reuse can reduce carbon emissions by 50%. Not only this technology can prove that EPS packaging is a packaging material that can realize resource recycling and be reused, but the physical and mechanical recycling method can also add EPS waste to the EPS recycling system for use. GREENMAX provides EPS compactor to the industry that produces waste EPS and then buys back these EPS blocs to make plastic particles, turning these originally expanded EPS into rigid plastic to make new plastic products. 

The waste EPS produced is put into the crushing device of the EPS compactor, and the inside of the device is sharp enough to quickly smash the huge EPS package into pieces of uniform size, and then these EPS pieces go through the compression device and the high-strength extrusion of the twin-screw, we get EPS blocs. These EPS blocs compressed by the EPS compactor are purchased by GREENMAX and other manufacturers to make new plastic products, which is a very popular business model at the moment, but something like GREENMAX makes EPS compactors, buys EPS blocs, and makes plastics One-stop business models for products are rare. We have reliable EPS recycling systems. This is one of the reasons why GREENMAX has become a popular machinery brand.

Whether it is using chemical technology or using an EPS compactor to assist waste to produce recycled materials, it proves that EPS is 100% recyclable, and also allows us to see the efforts made by Germany, Norway, and the world to recycle EPS. The users of the GREENMAX EPS compactor are all over the United States, Europe, Australia, and other regions, and the EPS recycling system has gone global!
