Polystyrene foam catering waste generated by hospitals and schools also needs to be recycled in time by using the foam compactor
Is the industry that produces foam plastic the only industry that produces and cuts foam in large quantities? no! Have you ever observed where these foam plastics are sold? We should usually pay attention to the industries that use it downstream, such as hospitals, schools and other organizational groups that are often ignored. An Anne Arundel County hospital is doing its part to "go green" and protect the environment by implementing the first-of-its-kind foam recycling program in Maryland. As early as a few years ago, the hospital had noticed that the problem of foam plastic recycling needed to be solved. The two departments that the organization mainly produces polystyrene foam plastic are the cafeteria and the food service department, including campus restaurants, which also produce large amounts of foam plastic. For polystyrene foam, they tried to borrow foam compactors from other companies for recycling.
What is a foam compactor? Why can't waste polystyrene foam be collected and transported directly? Because polystyrene foam is in an expanded foam state, unlike rigid polystyrene plastic, this foam is filled with air and has a larger volume. Without prior compression, it will have a great impact on the efficiency of recycling and consume at the same time. unnecessary human and financial resources. Using the foam compactor for recycling, the school collected 320 pounds of polystyrene foam in one month.
As a local machinery brand in California, GREENMAX foam compactor is the brand's best-selling model. It uses cold pressing technology to recycle various foams, including polystyrene foam, XPS foam, EPE foam and EPP foam. The types of materials that can be processed are relatively rich, and the compression efficiency and ratio are also quite satisfactory. The maximum power can reach 300kg per hour, and the compression ratio reaches 50:1.
These recycled polystyrene foam lunch boxes have entered the recycling cycle and are reused as precious recycled materials. With the help of foam compactor, real recycling can be achieved.
