European environment ministers agreed in Brussels on Monday on draft legislation aimed at reducing packaging waste by setting new targets for recycling and reuse. The Twenty-seven notably approved per capita reduction targets. By 2030, packaging waste must have decreased by 5% compared to what it was in 2018. In 2035, the reduction must reach 10%, and 15% in 2040. Among them, styrofoam accounts for a considerable proportion. We usually focus on recycling the styrofoam production industry and the cutting industry. In fact, the medical industry should also be the industry that needs to focus on styrofoam recycling.

Every year, the Mayo Clinic Recycling Center processes around 5,000 tons of recyclable paper, metal, and plastic materials, including Styrofoam and surgical blue wrap. The health care sector, like most others in the twenty-first century, consumes a lot of plastic. The Rochester locations of Mayo Clinic produce 60,000 pounds of waste per day, with plastic accounting for a sizable amount of that total. "A family of four produces more waste than one surgery does."

The medical industry usually uses styrofoam as medical styrofoam cooler to preserve drugs. Because some drugs have higher temperature requirements and need to be transported and stored within a precise temperature range, especially in the field of human health, we need to pay special attention.

Not only is the United States paying special attention to the recycling of medical styrofoam cooler, but in mid-2023, France also promulgated relevant regulations on the recycling of medical styrofoam cooler. Relevant industries and organizations must recycle medical styrofoam cooler, otherwise they will use other biodegradable materials. substitutes for production activities.

Recycling medical styrofoam cooler is not difficult. GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor is a necessary recycling equipment before recycling. Medical styrofoam cooler is in a foaming state, which means that it must be compressed if you want to recycle it efficiently. Only after the volume of waste is reduced to a certain proportion can subsequent recycling work begin. The compression ratio of GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor can reach 50:1. This styrofoam compactor uses screw extrusion technology. Another styrofoam compactor designed and manufactured by GREENMAX uses hydraulic technology, which effectively increases the compression ratio and can reach 70: 1.

The recycling of medical styrofoam cooler in the medical industry should be taken seriously to reduce global white pollution.
