Polystyrene foam recycling will be offered to the public by the Oswego Presbyterian Church’s Earth Care Team on Saturday, July 22, from 9 a.m. to noon in the church parking lot at 1976 Route 25 just north of Oswego. Curbside pickup will be provided by volunteers. The recycling activities of polystyrene have been uninterrupted, especially when people’s awareness of recycling has been continuously enhanced, more and more polystyrene recycling activities have been carried out in the community. Polystyrene plastic once marked with the number 6 was rejected for recycling wherever it was found, but now there are campaigns and dedicated organizations to help with the full cycle of recycling and reuse.
Any foam with the PS6 symbol will be accepted. Polystyrene cups and rinsed food containers should be packed in tight-fitting plastic bags. Packing foam should be placed in a separate bag. Styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap are also acceptable. It can be seen that with the wide range of polystyrene recycling this time, people’s acceptance of polystyrene types has become higher and higher. Fortunately, the ways of recycling polystyrene have also become more and more abundant, especially Mechanical recycling technologies are becoming more and more sophisticated and efficient.
GREENMAX polystyrene densifier is often involved in the polystyrene recycling process. The main purpose of this equipment is to squeeze out the air in the expanded polystyrene, in this way to reduce the volume of the expanded polystyrene. This is a crucial step in the successful recycling of polystyrene. Collecting polystyrene is the first step in the polystyrene recycling process. The second important step is to make it fully reusable. The process of transporting expanded polystyrene from the recycling site to other factories for remanufacturing is usually by truck It is transported with a trailer, and after being treated with polystyrene densifier, the volume of the foam is reduced to 1/90 of its original volume, which perfectly connects recycling and reuse.
