Earth Day on April 22 brought the hot topic of environmental protection to a new climax, followed by foam plastic recycling activities carried out by some communities. In cooperation with volunteers from Sfield Township, a recycling collection of EPS foam packaging materials will be held on April 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th from 9 am to noon. This kind of recycling activity should not be limited to April, if it can be held regularly, it will bring good news to EPS recycling.

According to the Franklin County Solid Waste Management District, the recyclers will only accept white block EPS packaging material and the packages must be dry, notable by the number 6 on the surface of the package. To meet these strict regulations, volunteers at both collection points will review the materials each resident brings. Residents were also informed that No. 4 low-density polyethylene foam packaging panels or foam insulation panels (XPS foam) were no longer accepted at these events. In this recycling process, the types of acceptable materials are limited. One of the main reasons is that there is no suitable way to take into account the recycling of various materials. If GREENMAX EPS compactor is used, the types of recycled materials can be expanded and recycling can be relaxed Material standard.

GREENMAX EPS compactor can not only recycle EPS foam, but also recycle XPS foam. Both EPS and XPS foam belong to PS, but the technologies used in the manufacturing process are different, resulting in different final forms. When GREENMAX EPS compactor extrudes these two types of foam, the compression ratio can reach 50:1. And it is worth mentioning that GREENMAX is not only in the business of providing machines, we also recycle EPS blocs, including black EPS foam blocs! That is what we often call graphite material. Although the price of this black recycled material is not as high as that of white, it is still worth recycling. You can use EPS compactor to recycle white and black EPS for sale.

Moreover, wet EPS fish boxes with high water content will be produced in family life, which is not accepted by recycling stations. GREENMAX EPS compactor has a special model for recycling wet EPS to avoid damage to the machine. In short, GREENMAX has rich experience in EPS recycling, and can help you to answer almost any related questions and all obstacles encountered in the EPS recycling process!
