Garbage sorting and polystyrene densifier are two key factors for the successful recycling of plastic
Sustainable development consultant Nick Toddy said in an interview that in the UK, the government claims that 46% of household plastic waste is recycled, which is actually a serious overestimate. The real recycling rate is definitely not that high, and more attention should now be paid to recycling as a key component of sustainable development. It is very important to popularize the knowledge of plastic recycling. Take polystyrene as an example. Although the polystyrene recycling industry has developed so fast, there are still many people who do not know that this material can actually be recycled.
Expanded polystyrene is a material made of PS foam. This kind of packaging is a 100% recyclable material, and non-degradable does not mean that it cannot be recycled. The community can help people understand what recyclable plastics are by organizing activities offline or publishing relevant materials online, which will help recycling. If expanded polystyrene is mixed with other waste, the polystyrene beads will stick to the surface of other waste, which will lead to the mixing of waste. The final consequence is that all the waste is dumped into the landfill because it is not "pure" enough, which is tantamount to a serious waste of resources. Therefore, the first thing we should do is to do a good job in garbage classification, vigorously publicize the importance of garbage classification, and then use appropriate methods to start polystyrene recycling
When people donate expanded polystyrene household waste to a designated location, they can use polystyrene densifier for timely recycling, which not only makes the recycling work more convenient, but also breaks expanded polystyrene in a way, and the produced beads fly with the wind and flow into the natural environment again, causing pollution. The compression ratio of GREENMAX polystyrene densifier is 90:1. Because the compressed polystyrene ingots are dense enough, many downstream buyers are willing to buy this high-quality ingots, which better realizes the closed loop of resource reuse.
