INTCO Recycling

Have you ever wondered what to do with waste plastics? Where is the final destination of these discarded foams? In the past, EPS ended up in landfills or incinerators. For recyclers, EPS is difficult to recycle because of its large size and belongs to the category of dumping goods. The traditional disposal method is landfill or incineration, which not only causes waste of resources, but also pollutes the environment. The advent of densifiers changed the traditional way of EPS processing.

With the continuous development of the economy and the in-depth implementation of the sustainable development strategy, relevant government environmental protection departments have begun to advocate advanced recycling concepts like Japan and South Korea and the use of professional EPS foam recycling equipment-foam cold compactor to avoid white polystyrene foam waste. Direct incineration or landfill will pollute the environment.

We can give priority to plastics that are conducive to environmentally friendly recycling, such as polystyrene foam. Many people think that it is not recyclable. It is light in weight and bulky, and the cost of transportation and storage is high. But in fact, EPS foam is a kind of plastic that can be used for recycling The mainstream practice in the industry is to use GREENMAX foam compactor equipment for centralized recycling and processing. The compressed foam blocks can be sold to the terminal for granulation at a high price to produce finished products such as photo frames, which is environmentally friendly and economical.

Materials such as polystyrene are widely produced and used by manufacturing companies, and these waste materials have permeated our daily lives. These materials are useful and convenient, but they pose a threat to the environment. Since carbon and plastic are one of the major contributors to climate change and global warming, companies need to manage their processes effectively to reduce the cost of pollution and protect the environment. Repeated production of materials made from polystyrene increases the risk of generating waste that ends up in landfills and water bodies. The real difficulty for companies is that reducing production of these materials will lead to a significant drop in profits and revenue. So recycling is the most suitable solution. Utilizing technologically advanced machinery such as foam recycling machines allows companies to strike the perfect balance between effective waste management and revenue generation and cheap.

Foam compression and volume reduction equipment is an ideal example of how advanced machinery can help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and save a variety of costs. The introduction of advanced recycling equipment with automatic foam recycling machines is one of the ways that businesses of all sizes can adopt. In addition to helping with waste management and recycling reusable materials, recycling equipment benefits in a number of ways. Including dedicated recycling environmental machines as part of its day-to-day operational activities can also create a positive public image for the company's brand. It reflects the notion that the company is not only a for-profit organization, but also cares about the environment and has active plans for it.

Such as the automatic cutting bag water cooling function of the foam hot melt machine produced by INTCO Environmental Protection Machinery can greatly save labor costs and save energy at the same time. Producing materials such as polystyrene from scratch requires a lot of energy, which can be properly avoided by recycling foam waste with the help of advanced equipment. Also, transportation costs are the costs companies can save with the help of equipment such as EPS recycling machines. Therefore, using advanced recycling equipment can go a long way in helping companies reduce their carbon and plastic footprints.

In recent years, with the improvement of environmental protection awareness, all walks of life, including the government, have begun to vigorously develop the environmental protection industry, and China has even introduced a new concept of "integration of the two networks". The integration of the two networks refers to the integration of the urban sanitation system and the renewable resource system, which enables overall planning and unified management of waste. The main purpose is to treat domestic waste most effectively, reduce resource consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and help enterprises in the renewable resources industry to transform and develop.

GREENMAX FOAM COMPACTOR MACHINE

EPS is the abbreviation of "Expanded Polystyrene" in English. The Chinese name is expanded polystyrene, commonly known as "foam" or "foam". It is a white foamed plastic. After taking the mold into a block, the volume is 50 times the original, which contains 95-98% air and 2-5% pure polystyrene. Small particle foam can be used to make plastic cups and small containers, medium particle foam can be used to make packaging bags, and large particle foam is used in bulk packaging materials. The main characteristics of this substance are: insulation, light weight and water resistance.

First, collect waste EPS foam

Second, transport the waste foam to the GREENMAX EPS recycling machine.

Then the EPS foam blocks are shredded, compressed into blocks, smashed, and then melted and extruded into a plastic extruder for granulation.

The last thing that comes out is the regenerated PS particles

Waste foam plastic is also a source of recycled plastics, and all plastics basically have the value of recycling. Foam plastics are used in a large amount. If they are discarded, they will not only waste valuable plastic raw materials, but also pollute the environment. Recycling plastics not only turns waste into treasure, but also benefits the environment.

When we don't have the ability to change the status quo of plastic use, how to recycle and how to make foam waste no longer become a headache is particularly important. INTCO Recycling has been engaged in foam recycling for more than ten years, and we have formed a complete set of foam recycling system, from compression recycling to compressed material granulation, to particle sales/particle recycling, our industrial chain is a complete closed loop, which is also The advantages of GREENMAX can be different from other recycling companies.

What are the recycling options for waste EPS foam? How to do it in a simple way?

1. Collect reselling pine materials. At present, many individual recycling stations may accept EPS foam recycling, and then simply package the collected EPS foam waste, and then sell it, as a middleman to resell the foam waste.

2. Foam compression for sale. After the EPS foam waste is compressed and reduced by a professional foam compressor, the volume will be greatly reduced. The foam compression and volume reduction can save storage and transportation costs, and save the intermediate cost of EPS foam recycling.

3. Granulation. EPS foam can be granulated after compression treatment, and the produced PS particles can be sold directly or used as raw material to produce new foam products.

To guide how to do styrofoam recycling better, few basics can be referred:

(1) Styrofoam is identifiable by the No. “6”

Polystyrene (also known as EPS or Styrofoam) is a very popular plastic packaging material that finds wide application in the packaging of food products, electronic products, household appliances, furniture, etc. thanks to its excellent insulating and protective properties. Polystyrene is also used to make useful products such as trays, cutlery, cartons, cases etc.

EPS is produced from petroleum, like most plastics. Since polystyrene is made from petroleum, it has properties that make it technically recyclable. But EPS is also made up of over 90% air, which makes it light and bulky.

Polystyrene is available in many forms, from light packaging foam to fragile plastic cutlery. The only thing they have in common is that they are difficult, but not impossible, to recycle.

The time to compact your EPS or industrial polystyrene is now! If disposing of EPS waste or removing other packaging materials consumes most of your operating costs, recycling is a very beneficial way to reduce unnecessary expenses.

Whenever EPS waste goes into the bin without being compacted, a large amount of money and vital resources are lost. So, make a smart decision for your business and reduce your annual waste removal budget. Remember, the recycling of these products is a value for you, the economy and the environment.

Everyone should have heard of foam recycling, but what is foam? In fact, it is ubiquitous in our lives, such as home appliances, furniture, etc. that we usually buy, the carton will be wrapped in foam, and the seafood market will also use foam boxes to store seafood products.

Foam is actually a polymer material, in short, polystyrene foam. In fact, foam is a type of plastic. Its characteristics are light, heat insulation, and even reduce vibration. This is why it is widely used. The main reasons for application in life.

But people often throw it away after using it. The big reason is that it occupies a large area, and they don't know how to deal with it, so they simply throw it into the garbage heap. But you can never imagine that these seemingly inconspicuous bubbles are far more valuable than imagined.

Now the Australian government is starting to pay more and more attention to marine pollution. The Australian Government is investing $16 million (2019 – 2025) in the Pacific Ocean Litter Project (POLP) to reduce sources of marine litter in the Pacific Ocean. The Project will focus on the most prevalent types of single-use plastic litter such as plastic bags, take away food polystyrene packaging, plastic straws, and PET bottles. More than half of these plastic wastes are polystyrene. Take polystyrene lunch boxes as an example. Polystyrene is loved by the restaurant industry for its lightness and heat retention, but what to do with it when we no longer need it. GREENMAX designs and manufactures high-quality polystyrene compactors for better polystyrene recycling. This foam recycling machine can compress polystyrene to one-fifth of its original volume and turn it into a dense polystyrene block. If the restaurant industry has such a polystyrene compactor, it can compress polystyrene at any time. Meal plates greatly reduce shipping costs, and Intco Recycling GREENMAX will repurchase compressed polystyrene to make photo frames to help you achieve closed-loop recycling and closed-loop economics

Most of Australia's marine litter is now plastic litter.Plastic is 84% of all rubbish found across Australian beaches，the study found that almost half of all debris could be related to land-based sources (litter and dumping on land) and 7% to dumping at sea, and at least half of plastic waste is EPS （polystyrene. The main source of these garbage is domestic garbage, but why do they appear in the ocean? In addition to direct dumping, another reason is the use of incorrect recycling methods, such as landfilling.Because of natural disasters, changes in the environment will cause EPS that was originally buried in the ground to reappear on the ground, causing environmental pollution, such as the movement of the earth's crust and the strong wind blowing polystyrene foam into the sea. From this point of view we should turn our attention to the large recycling yards and guide them to the correct recycling method. The mechanical recycling method provided by GREENMAX is a good choice. GREENMAX also designed and manufacture an EPS recycling machine. EPS compactor is an essential element. The principle of the whole mechanical recycling method is to first use a EPS compactor to compress polystyrene waste, then use these wastes to make plastic particles, and finally use these plastic particles to make other plastic products. In addition, GREENMAX believes that the government should help promote this green recycling method and give some economic subsidies to recycling sites to encourage this recycling method, so that Australia's desire to reduce marine litter will soon be realized!

Greenmax, a company that has developed a compression processor that can process large-scale EPS buoys made of expanded polystyrene.

 According to media reports here, after large EPS buoys used in aquaculture cages are abandoned, they are difficult to handle because of their large size, which is a headache for mariculture companies. The styrofoam densifier developed by Greenmax , a American manufacturer of recycling machines, can solve this problem. It first crushes a large buoy made of expanded polystyrene, and then heats it to greatly compress its volume. The entire processing process only takes two minutes. The compressed expanded polystyrene EPS can be used as raw materials such as refuse-derived fuels.

EPS is widely used in the construction industry because of its characteristics. It is precisely because of this that there is a large amount of EPS foam waste. Because of its large volume and light weight, it faces the problem of storage space when storing waste.

GREENMAX sees the value of EPS foam recycling, and has also developed a variety of recycling equipment for EPS foam recycling problems, such as: EPS foam compactor, polyethylene foam densifier and foam hot melt machine series. Among them, the EPS foam cold press can compress the foam volume to one-fifth of the original volume, and it has become the first choice for many EPS foam recycling manufacturers.

This is an interview with an Italian customer, who tells us his original intention of dealing with EPS recycling. According to him, the waste foam has now made up most of the marine garbage and such problem has now become a global one, which is worthy of consideration by us.

Foam plastic, also called porous plastic, is a type of polymer material formed by a large number of gas micropores dispersed in solid plastic. Since foam plastic is a composite material filled with gas, it has low density and quality compared with pure plastic. Light, high specific strength, its strength increases with the increase of density, has the ability to absorb impact load, has excellent cushioning and shock absorption performance, sound insulation and sound absorption performance, low thermal conductivity, good heat insulation performance, and excellent electrical insulation performance. It has corrosion resistance and mildew resistance. 

The flexible foam plastic has excellent elasticity, and its dielectric properties are better than the matrix resin. It has a wide range of uses. Almost all kinds of plastics can be made into foam plastics. Foam molding has become a process in plastic processing. An important field, foam plastic was first foam bakelite in the 1920s, rigid polyurethane foam and polystyrene foam in the 1930s.

What people call foam plastic usually refers to expanded polystyrene foam. Many people think that it cannot be recycled, but it can. This is probably because less than 1% of it is recycled, so that many people produce it. Misunderstanding, although we make enough things every year to fill more than 700 Empire State Buildings, now, a company has found a way to turn all this garbage into wealth, this is GreenMax.
