Polystyrene densifier helps Irish lab recycle polystyrene containers during experiments

Recycling polystyrene is not only popular in the United States, but all fields of the world have begun to pay attention to polystyrene. A laboratory in Ireland has set up its own polystyrene recycling system, and they use two ideas to help Ireland solve the white pollution of polystyrene at the same time. On the one hand, it is to reduce the use of all non-degradable single-use plastics, including polystyrene, from the root. Replacing these unnecessary plastic laboratory utensils with glassware, on the other hand, is recycling some unavoidable plastic products, among which polystyrene containers are one of their main recycling objects.

 

The person in charge said: We generate about 4,000 kilograms of waste every year, and we have reduced it to 130 kilograms. Much of the reduction is achieved through recycling. Starting in 2019, the Ireland-based lab has been working on polystyrene recycling, and over the following year, chemist Jane Kilcoyne and her lab went on to save €15,800 ($16,000) by converting non-chemical Waste has been reduced by more than 95%, and single-use plastic consumption has been reduced by 69%. So how exactly did the organization manage to recycle polystyrene containers that most industries struggle to handle? What good methods are there for us to learn from?

They use a company called Waste Matters, based in Clara, Ireland, for polystyrene recycling. They use the shed at the back of the lab, where they temporarily store the waste polystyrene containers, and when they are full, contact Waste Matters and the recycling company uses a machine to extract the air out of the polystyrene, those polystyrene blocs are shipped abroad, mainly to Europe, and many companies reuse them. This polystyrene recycling system is very similar to GREENMAX, except that GREENMAX can independently complete the missions of multiple companies and independently form a complete polystyrene recycling system.

First of all, as a well-known machinery brand in California, GREENMAX designed and manufactured polystyrene densifiers to be used in the process of polystyrene recycling. Entrusting a recycler to help with recycling is not a very good way. Not only does it require expensive costs, but the recycling time is not free, and it is often prone to insufficient inventory. Therefore, more and more related industries have begun to use polystyrene densifiers to realize their own recycling projects.

 

GREENMAX polystyrene densifier not only has a compression ratio of up to 90:1. The surface of the compressed material produced is smooth and white, which is very suitable for the manufacture of new plastic products. The polystyrene ingots obtained by using GREENMAX polystyrene densifier are welcomed by recyclers. GREENMAX also repurchases polystyrene ingots and blocs for use in manufacturing, helping you implement a convenient polystyrene recycling system!
