GREENMAX polystyrene compactor can help Whataburger recycle polystyrene cups and beautify its brand image

Whataburger is a well-known fast food brand in Texas, USA. Each Whataburger cup has a line on the side: "WHEN I AM EMPTY DISPOSE OF ME PROPERLY" but it's not clear what to do with the used polystyrene cups. Even more ironically, a video on Youtube documents dozens of polystyrene containers drifting into the bay after a heavy rainstorm. About half of the polystyrene cups came from Whataburger. The orange and white stripes are especially noticeable.

Consumers say they love Whataburger but don't want to see the brand's polystyrene cups polluting the environment. This phenomenon does not only exist in Whataburger. Many restaurant industry giants have this phenomenon more or less due to their high sales. As Jaime Grunlan, a mechanical engineering professor at Texas A&M University, explained, Polystyrene has poor thermal conductivity, which can prevent coffee from burning the palm of your hand. The material keeps cold drinks cool for a long time, even in the Texas heat. And the low cost of polystyrene cups, the material is the first choice for fast food suppliers.

In response to this phenomenon, after GREENMAX's market research, catering brands in some regions have begun to develop a polystyrene recycling industry chain to recycle waste polystyrene produced by their own brands. This approach is highly recognized by GREENMAX. A large amount of waste polystyrene in the catering industry is not enough to be recycled only by the government and the meager power of residents. Some catering industries have begun to use polystyrene compactors to help solve the local white pollution problem.

The polystyrene compactor is an efficient polystyrene recycling machine that can process any packaging of polystyrene material. Excellent twin-screw compression technology compresses loose polystyrene to 1/50th of its original volume to form dense blocs. Efficiently save storage space and transportation costs. GREENMAX compressed polystyrene is very popular in the market.

At present, the recycling of polystyrene in various countries is becoming more and more complete. Many manufacturers use waste polystyrene to make plastic particles. After a series of operations, various particles can be obtained. These particles can be used to make new plastic products. In addition to supplying polystyrene compactors, GREENMAX also undertakes the responsibility of repurchasing polystyrene. We have not only a machinery production plant but also a frame strip manufacturing plant, which uses white waste to manufacture environmentally-friendly frame strips to form a polystyrene recycling system.

Many consumers are dissatisfied with the white pollution produced by Whataburger. If Whataburger uses GREENMAX polystyrene compactors to help recycle waste polystyrene, it can re-establish a good brand image in the public. Now many catering brands have joined the polystyrene recycling system, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact GREENMAX.
