Through a partnership with Irving, Texas-based ExxonMobil Corp., Pregis LLC, a protective packaging developer based in Chicago, has unveiled a foam packaging solution supported by certified-circular polyethylene (PE) resins.

Pregis said the innovation was driven by demand for packaging that would help brands meet consumer demand for more circular plastic products. While adding recycled materials, it will not affect the performance of commodity packaging. In the process of saving production costs, it will not affect the performance of PE foam packaging. Without affecting the performance of the product, we encourage the use of recycled materials as much as possible, because this will save resources to a great extent, and the most important point, which is often overlooked by us, is to actively recycle PE foam It's actually free, and even quite profitable!

After hearing this point of view, many people may not agree. They think that recycling PE foam requires investment. This project only brings benefits to the environment and does not bring any big returns to investors. During the recycling process, It also costs a lot of money to invest in a foam compactor. No matter how you think about it, this is not a cost-effective plan. But you overlooked one thing! Thanks to the advancement of technology, the addition of recycled materials in the production process has become more and more common, which means that more and more manufacturers will reduce production costs by adding recycled materials! Recycled materials will become a hot material. After you invest in a foam compactor, you will get your money back in a very short time by selling foam blocs.

Using foam compactor to compress PE foam and sell it is already a mature technology. The GREENMAX foam compactor Zeus series can compress PE foam to obtain higher quality foam blocs. The compression ratio of 50:1 effectively reduces the cost of the recycling process. to help investors maximize their profits

Recycled PE foam does not necessarily have to be added to packaging. It will appear in daily life in various forms, such as granulation. Plastic particles are widely used and can make a variety of plastic products. Using foam Recycling by compactor will give waste a second life.
