EPS recycling is always a topic of concern. We pay attention to global economic development, but cannot ignore changes in the natural environment. The good news is that more and more residents are aware of EPS recycling, and more and more communities are carrying out related EPS recycling activities. Western Washtenaw Recycling Authority (WWRA) will partner with the DART Container Corporation and community volunteers to host a #6 foam recycling weekend on Aug, 5, 6, and 7, 2022.
Residents are reluctant to see these waste EPS discarded around the trash can, because of its huge volume, there is no way to even put it into a regular trash can. Therefore, EPS recycling activities exist specifically to recycle these white wastes. A trailer will be prepared at the recycling site, and volunteers will be on-site to help collect and sort items brought by community members during collection time. Marc Williams, WWRA Facilities Manager, said he was very excited to have this meaningful recycling event in the community. The community will only accept EPS #6 foam for this event including foam egg wraps, food trays, takeaway containers, medical coolers, and block furniture wraps. These waste EPS will then be donated to manufacturers to produce new plastic products. However, EPS is bulky and wastes a lot of resources during transportation and storage. How to effectively solve this problem?
Many recycling pilot sites have applied for subsidies to purchase EPS recycling equipment, and EPS densifiers are especially popular in the United States. GREENMAX EPS densifier, as a well-known local machinery brand in California, is the choice of many customers. The EPS densifier designed and manufactured by the company has a compression ratio of 90:1, which effectively reduces the volume of EPS and saves recycling costs, which fully conforms to the ESG concept. The EPS ingots compressed by the GREENMAX EPS densifier are very beautiful and are a product that many manufacturers are competing for. With an EPS densifier, the community can not only process waste EPS efficiently, but can also sell EPS ingots for additional income, which can continue to be used for recycling.
