This past weekend in Berrien County, Chicago, held a recycling event where you can throw away household chemicals, batteries, household medical waste, electronics, hard foam, including Styrofoam, and help shred obsolete paper documents. A community recycling event has been successfully held at the Berrien County Landfill Recycling Center.

This community recycling event is only open to residents of Berrien County, and does not accept waste from industrialization. The plastic foam accepted is limited to rigid polystyrene foam, which can be in various colors, but soft foam such as EPE foam is rejected.

In fact, there are not a few factories engaged in foam-related work in Chicago. Can the community leader help to contact and cooperate with these related companies to help deal with the difficult soft foam, that is, EPE foam packaging, which has a high usage rate? Factories usually have professional foam densifiers, which can usually process a variety of foam plastics, and recycling EPE foam is not a problem. You can donate EPE soft foam to neighboring factories for free and ask them to help recycle. After being processed by foam densifier, these foams will become dense foam ingots. Currently, EPE foam ingots can be sold to manufacturers at a good price for reuse.

GREENMAX foam densifier has successfully helped factories in many regions of the United States recycle soft foam, including EPE blocs and EPE film. Although the composition of the two materials is the same, their forms are different, and there are still certain differences in recycling. GREENMAX uses an independent design concept to continuously optimize the foam densifier. Now it can recycle thicker EPE blocs and thinner EPE film at the same time, compressing them to 90:1 of the original volume.

The soft foam collected by the community is sent to the factory for free. The factory helps to process the foam for free and then sells it, which can actually realize the resource and recycling cycle. Only when all the foam plastic is successfully recycled can our recycling wish be truly realized. !
