Eco-friendly Recycling of Foam Densifier: Use Exquisite Frame to Change People's Attitude towards Foam
Before reading this article, you can think about these two questions: Do you use foam? What's your attitude towards foam? I believe almost everyone's answer to the first question is YES because according to the data of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), there are hundreds of thousands of foam products are produced every year. From food containers to express packaging, daily life is inseparable from foam materials.
The answer to the second question is full of controversy. Some people think that the material of foam is cheap and convenient, while others think that post foam is difficult to deal with and will pollute the environment.
In fact, it is not surprising that this polarization is caused by attitude. The advantages of foam are well known, otherwise, it would not be so widely used. However, its high recycling difficulty is indeed a problem we need to face directly, and now the recycling scheme of the foam densifier may change people's negative attitude towards foam.
The magic of foam densifier lies in its complete recycling of foam waste. No one doesn't like exquisite frame products, but absolutely few people can associate the beautiful frame in the mall with the waste foam, and they can't believe that they are the same material at the beginning. The recycling system of foam densifier from hot melt to granulation perfectly realizes the process of regenerating foam.
Recently, the staff of the recycling center in Outagamie county began to try to use the foam densifier for recycling, which was popularized locally and achieved good results. They will insert the foam waste into the hopper of the densifier, basically chop up the fragments and take away 98% of the air in the foam material. Then the extruded ingots are granulated, and finally, the picture frame products are made and put into the market.
Foam densifier has injected a lot of vitality into the frame market. Plastic particles made of foam, as a Recycled-foam, have now triggered a trend. It is not only more environmentally friendly but also more moisture-resistant and moth resistant than wooden frames. With the improvement of the recycling scheme, people's cognition that foam will change from a source of environmental pollution to an eco-friendly material.
