San Diego’s efforts to become a “zero waste” city will include allowing residents living in single-family homes to start foam recycling of food and beverage containers on July 1.
Many California cities have banned the use of products made by foam, also known as Styrofoam or EPS, and the California Legislature considered a statewide ban in 2011.
According to what has been mentioned above, it is not difficult to see that foam recycling has now become an inevitable trend, which, however, needs our endless effort to practice.
The good news is that professional methods can be provided by GREENMAX recycling from INTCO. Due to the unique characteristics of being bulky and light of the foam products, GREENMAX has specially designed recycling machines, such as APOLO series screw compactors and MARS series functioned as thermal densifiers. Both of these two kinds of machines can smash and then compress or heat the polystyrene products into blocks or ingots in order to make these compressed or melted materials easy to be stored and transported.
It must be mentioned that the high efficiency of these recycling machines are incomparable. The screw compactor can work at a ratio of 50: 1 while the thermal densifier can even work at a ratio of 90:1, more efficiently than the compactor. Moreover, both of these two kinds of equipment do not account for too much space, just a corner of your warehouse.
What’s more, the foam blocks and ingots can be used to granulate and then made into other plastic products, to realize the utmost value of recycling.
Supposing that you are feeling upset of your bulky foam wastes and have no good idea to dispose them, maybe GREENMAX recycling can do much help to you.
