Residents of Calgary can now recycle their Styrofoam debris at any of the three landfills in the city. The debris will be collected for free by the City of Calgary's waste and recycling services team for the following six months.According to a news release from project manager Elias Tomaras, "Calgarians have been asking for a foam packaging recycling program, like the ones offered by other nearby municipalities, for a while." "Calgarians are keen to keep recyclable materials out of the garbage, which is valuable in terms of extending our landfill space for future use."

The city says all recycled foam can be melted down and reused to make new products such as cabinets, bicycle helmets, tiles, frames and other plastic molds. So how to pretreat these foams? GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine is a very good device that helps melt and reduce the volume of polystyrene foam.

First of all, GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine first pre-processes the huge polystyrene waste, which is what we often call crushing. The main purpose of this step is to reduce the volume of polystyrene waste to a certain extent and to fully melt the waste in the future.  The broken waste will continue to enter the hot melt system. After sufficient melting, the polystyrene waste will become a semi-melted state and then be extruded. The compression ratio of GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine can reach 90:1, which has very good performance in terms of compression ratio.

Officials said: "Polystyrene fragments cannot be separated from other recyclable materials, which means that foam and other recyclable materials cannot be recycled correctly." So before recycling, we must do a good job in classifying waste. If different types of waste are separated blended together, otherwise all the rest would be meaningless. GREENMAX provides a buy-back service for the polystyrene ingots produced. We use these ingots for remanufacturing, manufacturing environmentally friendly frames and selling them around the world.
