The City of Tacoma is putting GREENMAX technology into action:

📦 Less foam volume 🏭 More usable space 🔄 Smarter recycling

We’re proud to support a real local recycling program that turns everyday foam waste into a valuable resource.

Real equipment. Real recycling. Real impact.

Seafood markets, wholesalers, and processing plants generate large volumes of lightweight but bulky EPS fish boxes every day.

A Styrofoam compactor can help:

✅ Reduce foam volume by up to 50:1 ✅ Lower storage and hauling costs ✅ Produce compact EPS blocks for resale ✅ Improve overall EPS recycling efficiency

Before investing in equipment, consider your monthly foam volume, pickup costs, required capacity, and expected payback period.

With the right recycling solution, used EPS fish boxes can become a source of savings—and even additional revenue.

Efficient foam recycling starts with selecting equipment designed for performance and durability.

Discover the essential features that help foam shredding machines deliver cleaner operation, consistent output, and improved material recovery for recycling applications.

🇦🇺♻️ Urban EPS waste? Blue Mountains found a solution!

Loose EPS waste takes up space, costs more to transport, and is hard to manage. That’s why Blue Mountains City Council chose GREENMAX M-C100.

✅ over 8 tons of EPS per year ✅ up to 90:1 volume reduction ✅ stable capacity of approx. 100 kg/h ✅ less storage space needed ✅ easier transport and recycling

GREENMAX is more than an EPS densifier — it offers a complete solution: densification, EPS block collection, and material reuse.

🇦🇺♻️ Styropian w mieście? Blue Mountains ma rozwiązanie!

Luźne odpady EPS zajmują dużo miejsca i generują wysokie koszty transportu. Dlatego Blue Mountains City Council wybrał GREENMAX M-C100.

✅ ponad 8 ton EPS rocznie ✅ redukcja objętości do 90:1 ✅ wydajność ok. 100 kg/h ✅ mniej miejsca na magazynowanie ✅ łatwiejszy transport i recykling

GREENMAX to nie tylko prasa do pianki EPS, ale pełne rozwiązanie: zagęszczanie, odbiór bloków EPS i ponowne wykorzystanie materiału.

In packaging plants serving solar panels, AI servers, and electronics, EPE trim waste often piles up faster than expected.

It takes up floor space. It blocks warehouse flow. It adds hauling costs. It quietly reduces every order’s margin.

But clean PE foam waste does not have to be treated as trash.、

With GREENMAX, packaging converters can build a simple recycling path:

PE cutting trim waste ➡️ densified into compact blocks ➡️ stacked and stored neatly ➡️ sold to recyclers or pelletizing plants ➡️ turned into new recycling value

For higher-volume plants, clean EPE scraps can also be processed by a pelletizing machine and reused as recycled material.

Less waste. Lower disposal cost. More value from every ton of PE foam.

PE foam recycling is not just about sustainability. It is a practical way for packaging converters to protect profit and improve production efficiency.

GREENMAX Machine Running for Over 10 Years — Still Going Strong

How long can one machine keep working reliably?

At a customer site in Poland, GREENMAX found the answer: 12 years — and still counting. ♻️

In June 2026, the GREENMAX team visited a long-term customer in Poland. This GREENMAX machine, used for compacting EPE foam, was installed back in 2014 and is still running smoothly today.

For 12 years, it has continued to support the customer’s foam volume reduction work. According to the customer, the machine has performed very well, requiring only basic maintenance and never experiencing any serious repair issues.

What made us even happier was what the customer added: this machine will continue to operate well, and its service life will go far beyond 12 years.

One simple comment says it all:

“Perfect machine.”

For GREENMAX, machine value is not only shown in technical specifications, but also proven through long-term stable performance.

Three busy days. Lots of foam. Even more great conversations.

At the show, GREENMAX met companies dealing with the same problem: EPS, EPE, and EPP foam piling up, taking space, and increasing hauling costs.

Our answer? Compress it. Densify it. Sell it.

With the right foam recycling machine, bulky foam waste can become compact, transportable, and valuable material.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the GREENMAX booth. The show is over, but foam recycling keeps moving forward. 🚀
