What kind of garbage is Styrofoam? “Many citizens have this question when sorting garbage. Many people don’t know how to put away foam plastics. Foam plastics are recyclable. The common foam plastics in our lives are expanded polystyrene foam. Fruits, fresh food Even the packaging of home appliances will inevitably use this material in order to preserve freshness or avoid bumps. However, because foam is scattered and difficult to clean, takes up space for long-term storage, and is flammable, once the “mission is completed”, it becomes a household, Trash that merchants want to dispose of as quickly as possible.
The reporter asked a waste recycler in the building’s courtyard. He told the reporter that because of their large size, residents’ garages and warehouses would be filled up in a short time. However, the waste recycler admitted that currently it is difficult to recycle foam plastic boxes. It’s a very complicated problem. These foam plastic products occupy a large area and cannot be loaded into trash cans. Even if there is a place to collect them, it is difficult to contact a truck to specifically pull such things because the cost is too high. ”
In fact, with current recycling technology, this problem can be easily solved. Simply finding a way to compact the plastic foam can solve this problem. Foam recycling machine can be used to compress foam to the maximum extent, which can reach 90:1. The current compression ratio of GREENMAX foam hydraulic compactor is 70:1. Although it is not as high as the compression ratio of hot melt equipment, the energy consumption is less than that of hot melt equipment. Using hydraulic technology to compress, the compression ratio is larger than traditional screw extrusion (the compression ratio of screw extrusion is 50:1). This equipment not only improves the compression ratio, but also can process more materials (including PUR, PIR foam plastic).
