Styrofoam is favored for its insulating and protective properties and is usually used in packaging. Unfortunately, due to material expansion, it is economically and environmentally expensive to move to landfills.
Although Styrofoam is a recyclable material without any problems, its large volume and lightweight ratio means that it is inefficient to transport both environmentally and financially.
Styrofoam is not usually a high-profile target for recycling (unlike glass, paper, aluminum cans, batteries, tires, etc.), but many companies, local authorities and individuals may not have considered the impact of how much Styrofoam they dump. The recycling of Styrofoam waste is in everyone’s hands and can be easily accomplished with the help of local foam recycling programs.
First, you should sort the waste and set aside the recyclable Styrofoam. Then you can take it to an recycling center or drop-off where to recycle it. The collecting process is not always easy, we must strengthen the promotion of Styrofoam recycling to improve residents’ environmental awareness. The collected Styrofoam waste will be compacted or melted by professional machines, and then sold to the manufacturers to use as the raw material for new foam products production.
GREENMAX Styrofoam recycling machine can help make Styrofoam recycling more easier. Volume reduction is an important step for Styrofoam recycling, and you can achieve this step by adopting a Styrofoam compactor. GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor can realize foam volume reduction by crushing and compacting, and the compacted foam block is 50 times smaller than before, which is easier to transport.
If we don’t recycle Styrofoam, but just always asking for it, the raw materials of Styrofoam will become less and less, and is eventually run out. In contrast, Styrofoam recycling is a way to reuse resources. So please take actions to recycle Styrofoam.
