Polystyrene building insulation can be recycled with the polystyrene compactor in Germany

As early as a few years ago when the roof of the Westerburg Primary School in Germany was completely renovated, people realized that polystyrene foam, a construction waste, could be recycled. The polystyrene waste generated during the demolition process must be recycled in the most environmentally friendly way possible. For the relevant personnel, incineration is impossible. This is an extremely unenvironmental treatment method. We should actively find a way to Greener recycling methods for recycling. In principle, polystyrene insulation should be pure and free of adherents. However, smaller residues, such as bitumen, do not present a hindrance in the recycling process. Post-consumer polystyrene building materials can be recycled using suitable recycling equipment. “We compress and transport low-volume materials for reprocessing. “This protects valuable raw materials and reduces transport costs, while also saving considerable fuel,” says Ziebeil, who promotes this sustainable alternative in refurbishments.

GREENMAX agrees with this. Sustainable development has become a very important aspect in production and life. This is why GREENMAX has insisted on innovation in recent years, designing and manufacturing various recycling equipment to help recycle waste polystyrene. Among them, polystyrene compactor is widely used in polystyrene recycling in the construction industry. Not only for post-consumer polystyrene building materials, pre-consumer polystyrene waste produced during the production and shaping process can also be recycled using polystyrene compactors.

Because polystyrene building materials may contain a certain amount of flame retardants, in the past recycling experience, we prefer to use polystyrene compactor for compression. Of course, this requires a detailed analysis of the specific composition ratio of the materials you want to recycle. This equipment completely uses cold pressing technology for compression, extruding the air in the expanded polystyrene, and achieving 50:1 compression through crushing and screw extrusion. It has successfully helped customers around the world realize the recycling of building materials.

The volume of compressed waste is significantly reduced, which can reduce a lot of unnecessary processing costs. At the same time, it is also a valuable recycled material. Judging by the degree of cleanliness, professionals can give the best reuse plan to make these waste into new ones. of plastic products to achieve sustainable development.
