General Industries' sibling firm, General Industries Polymer (GIP), based in Germany, announced that it is expanding into Spain. Birkle Recycling Solutions, a Spanish recycler that specializes in expanded polystyrene, is collaborating with the non-foam plastics recycler. At Birkle's headquarters in Tarragona, Spain, where the Spanish recycler will handle material flows from Portugal and Spain, GIP has installed shredding machines. According to a statement from the corporations, the automobile sector would be the primary source of the plastic trash.

In fact, the most practical way to recycle expanded polystyrene is to use a recycling machine with a compression function, but a foam shredder can also help recycle EPS foam to a certain extent. This is more suitable for companies that do not have a large demand for recycling but have a small amount of waste to recycle, or companies with limited budgets and factory sites. They can choose this recycling equipment that does not include a compression function.

GREENMAX divides foam shredder into two categories. In the process of recycling EPS foam, one can break EPS into small pieces, which can reduce the volume of EPS to a certain extent. The other foam shredder can directly break EPS into beads, which further improves the recycling efficiency, especially for customers who want to reuse EPS beads.

In fact, foam shredder is the front-end crushing component of foam compression equipment. You can also choose to purchase this equipment separately. It can be said that this equipment fills the gap in the field of EPS foam recycling, allowing companies that have just invested in EPS recycling projects to have a sufficient transition period, and also allowing more and more companies to have the opportunity to invest in EPS recycling activities.

If you are also interested in small and medium-sized equipment such as foam shredder, you can contact GREENMAX at any time. We can provide you with some real customer use cases to help you more accurately judge whether you are suitable for using this recycling machine.
