A recycling event was held last Saturday at the Lewis County Central Solid Waste Transfer Station in Washington, USA, where WSU Extension Lewis County Master Recycler Composter volunteers helped with the recycling of polystyrene, discarded documents and fallen leaves. In this event, both degradable and non-degradable garbage can be recycled and recycled, which is good news.

The LeMay Mobile Shredding Truck is on-site from 10am to 1pm to pick up your discarded documents, shred them and finally send them to a professional recycling location. The fallen leaves collected by everyone are required to be put in bags, and finally sent by volunteers to places in need and reused as fertilizers. We can see that there are special equipment for recycling waste paper in this event, but in the whole recycling process, no professional equipment is used to recycle polystyrene. In fact, polystyrene is a very necessary material. Pre-treated, treated polystyrene can be recycled more efficiently.

In this event, we should remove the tape from the polystyrene box fish packaging, this is the right way, because no matter in the process of recycling or reuse, we must ensure that no other labels and other labels are stuck on the polystyrene. adhesive tape. One of the biggest headaches in recycling polystyrene is that the material is bulky and difficult to move, often requiring considerable manpower and time to transport. After careful consideration, it was found that all these difficulties are caused by the too large volume of polystyrene, and polystyrene densifier can effectively solve this problem. Make polystyrene recycling as easy as recycling waste paper and fallen leaves!

Placing a polystyrene densifier at the recycling site can speed up the pace of recycling, put the qualified waste polystyrene into the polystyrene densifier silo, these wastes will be broken, and then the hot melt system will put the polystyrene The plastic is melted into a semi-liquid state, conveyed through a screw, filtered through a filter, and the polystyrene is compressed. After a series of treatments, the volume of polystyrene has been reduced to 1/90th of its original size. Both transportation and management save a lot of money and effort. It can be imagined that without the help of the polystyrene densifier, just a few pieces of polystyrene can fill the trailer, and the recycling site will also be very untidy with messy polystyrene. After the polystyrene densifier, we get Uniformly shaped polystyrene ingots.
