Both before and after use Styrofoam insulation from the construction industry should be properly recycled

Due to the increasingly stringent requirements of modern buildings, we are using more insulating materials than ever before to achieve adequate insulation. Every year, millions of plastic pellets are produced globally to produce insulation materials used in the construction industry. At the same time, we dispose and incinerate as much insulation as one-third of what we use. In other words, we only dispose of one-third of the styrofoam waste after use, and this one-third also includes non-environmentally friendly disposal methods, such as incineration.

 

In fact, the construction industry produces a large amount of styrofoam insulation materials related to before and after use, which is an industry that needs to focus on. When manufacturing building-related styrofoam insulation materials, foaming and cutting are required. In this process, a large amount of pre-use styrofoam will be produced. These materials are usually new, clean, and have high recycling value. After recycling After that, it can be made into a higher quality recycled material. The used styrofoam building materials are usually styrofoam insulation boards. Although these used materials are not as clean as those before use, they can still be recycled, and they are also valuable renewable materials after professional treatment. However, whether it is a pre-use or a post-use material, these materials are all foamed, so if you want to recycle them with the lowest cost and the highest efficiency, you must first reduce the volume of these wastes.

 

GREENMAX breaks the styrofoam waste into small pieces, and then uses the screw to extrude, so as to ensure that part of the air is removed. The compression ratio of the styrofoam compactor is 50:1. In addition to the heat generated by the machine itself, this equipment does not waste heat during the process. No external heat input is required for support. The processed loose styrofoam presents a dense block, which is a cube with regular shape. Not only the volume is reduced, but also the shape becomes regular, which is convenient for access and storage. All this benefits from the help of GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor.
