Can you relate styrofoam to art? For example, the film and television art we often mention, styrofoam can not only be applied in industry, but also in the field of film and television props. Theater and prop sets made with styrofoam are lightweight and reusable, saving time and money during installation. Easy to shape, waterproof and more durable than any fiberglass alternative, styrofoam sheets and tiles are ideal for props. Styrofoam can be easily carved into any shape desired, and paints and other finishes can be used to make styrofoam look like any other type of material – metal, wood, stone, etc. In particular, styrofoam is very light in weight, will not cause accidental damage to actors, and is relatively safe.
What to do with the styrofoam props when they are no longer needed? Throw it directly at the shooting scene? Throw it in the trash can by the side of the road? Or simply do not pay attention to the whereabouts of these waste Styrofoam? You can actually give those waste styrofoam a chance to work again if you’re willing to put in a little effort. Send these wastes to the nearest recycling site, and after being processed by styrofoam melter, these wastes will become valuable raw materials again, which we call recycled materials, which can be mixed with new materials to reduce costs and help waste waste to be realized environmental protection.
When you put the recycled styrofoam into the crushing chamber of the styrofoam melter, you can see the soft and high-temperature melted Styrofoam being extruded from the outlet after only a few minutes. At this time, the air in the styrofoam has been almost completely squeezed out. , the volume is reduced to 1/90 of the original, and they can be collected after a little cooling, and dense styrofoam ingots can be formed after complete cooling.
While paying attention to art, we should also pay attention to the proper recycling of styrofoam. With just a little effort from you, styrofoam can be recycled by styrofoam melter at the designated location.
