For newly granted contracts, BMW is collaborating with packaging suppliers to raise the percentage of recycled material in reusable packaging for logistics to above 35%. BMW is collaborating with packaging suppliers on several projects to improve the sustainability of its components packaging. These projects include replacing oil-based polyethylene and polypropylene containers with bio-based materials and utilizing recycled materials in expanded polypropylene containers. Polyethylene is still widely used in the automotive industry. From designated parts on vehicles to packaging of precision instruments inside motor vehicles, we all use expanded polyethylene packaging. Nowadays, various companies pay special attention to the recycling of expanded polyethylene. Expanded polyethylene It is a 100% recyclable recycled material.

So is expanded polyethylene easily recycled? In an era when recycling equipment was underdeveloped a few decades ago, all types of foam, including expanded polyethylene, were considered non-recyclable. As people's understanding continues to change, more and more data and experiments are being conducted. It was proved that expanded polyethylene can be recycled, but another difficulty emerged: Expanded polyethylene is bulky and requires a lot of money to be recycled, so many people think that recycling expanded polyethylene is meaningless. With the advent of foam recycling machine, this situation has been solved. The most expensive part of foam recycling is transportation. If the expanded polyethylene is compressed first, then transported and recycled, this problem can be avoided. For the recycling of expanded polyethylene, GREENMAX has designed and manufactured the foam compactor Zeus series of machines.

Foam compactor Zeus series machines are different from foam compactor Apolo series machines. This equipment has a better compression effect for expanded polyethylene. When crushing, the surface of foam blocs must be heated to form a binding film, to prevent the expanded polyethylene from loosening and falling, affecting the factory's 5s. The GREENMAX foam compactor Zeus series has a compression ratio of 50:1 and is a recycling equipment with a medium compression ratio.
