Do you know how serious plastic pollution is now? The data show a grim reality: 242 million tons of plastic waste are produced every year in the world, which pollutes cities and blocks the ocean, and foam is an important part of it. Because of the increasingly serious pollution, more and more foam recovery methods began to emerge, including physical recycling methods and chemical recycling methods, including foam densifier or foam decomposition.



But the chemical method has been criticized. A leading environmental group said on Monday that most steam chemical recycling plants in the United States do not actually recycle steam, but turn it into dirty fuel and produce toxic waste in low-income communities. Chemical recycling is a relatively new technology touted by the industry, which can decompose plastics into their molecular structural units. But it has caused a deeper threat, not only to the environment but also to human health.

Therefore, with so many disadvantages of chemical recovery methods that cannot be broken by technology, for the time being, we need to focus on solutions to solve the root causes of the problem. The physical recycling method is very suitable. Foam densifier is another very popular recycling scheme at present.



It is very different from the chemical recovery method. The foam densifier can directly densify the foam waste and use the pure physical method to recover the foam. With the efficient treatment of hot melt technology, foam can be compressed in the proportion of 90:1, making it become compact ingots and raw materials for granulation. It can be said that the physical method completely constructs a circular economy system, and foam is the protagonist.



People who support chemical hair always say that it can recycle more things than traditional equipment. But more often than not, when the recycling of foam densifiers involves shredding and processing foam into particles to make new products, chemical methods are embarrassing the public. Foam densifier should be seen more as the representative of the physical method.
