Foam plastic pollution does not only exist on land, it has spread to the ocean, and it has not only negatively affected the aesthetics of the environment, but has even caused serious harm to marine life. Highlighting the growing problem of plastic pollution in the world's oceans, whales swimming off the coast of California ingest millions of small pieces of plastic of all kinds every day, a new study led by marine biologists at Stanford University found. Half of the plastic that exists on Earth has been made in the past 20 years. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, only 9 percent of the plastic sold in the U.S. every year is recycled. As much as 13 million tons of garbage enter the world's oceans every year - the equivalent of dumping a full garbage truck into the ocean every minute. When the truth is expressed in numbers, everything is so shocking.

 

When all kinds of plastic foam are dumped into the ocean, it's not just whales that are harmed. Scientists have even found fragments of plastic foam in krill and other microbes. And this is not a simple problem with whales. As the top of the food chain, humans, like whales, eat other marine creatures in the sea, and the damage caused by these foams will definitely be transferred to humans. In marine plastic waste pollution, foam plastic is not a minority.

At present, both the United States, Europe and the world have specified relevant laws and regulations on the recycling of foam plastic and other plastics, and these regulations are more inclined to suggest that the relevant industries should fulfill their obligations to recycle foam, and the recycling task should be undertaken by everyone. It is also one of the main reasons why more and more related industries are looking for foam plastic solutions. GREENMAX foam compactor became the object of public consideration.

With the rapid development of technology, people can no longer use the limited recycling technology as a reason to avoid recycling. GREENMAX foam compactor Zeus series is a recycling equipment that uses a combination of cold pressing and hot melting technology, which can recycle a variety of foams, including EPS, XPS, EPE, EPP, etc. The foam compressed and reduced by the foam compactor can be efficiently reused. These wastes no longer need to be incinerated, buried in the soil and dumped into the sea, and marine organisms will also be free from the torture of waste foam plastic.

 

Without professional foam recycling equipment, it is impossible to successfully recycle foam. The huge volume is the biggest obstacle in the recycling process. GREENMAX foam compactor can achieve a compression ratio of 50:1. In addition to foam plastic, plastic pollution in the ocean also contains the most common PET plastic. For PET recycling, GREENMAX also designs and manufactures a special PET recycling machine, which can empty and compress the liquid in PET bottles.

GREENMAX foam compactor and PET recycling machine can effectively solve marine pollution. If you want to contribute to environmental protection, GREENMAX welcomes you to join us at any time!
