In its three factories in Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône, the SIRAP company manufactures plastic packaging for the food industry. If the PET plastic it uses is already largely included in a recycling circuit, this is not the case for expanded polystyrene. The manufacturer is investing in setting up a sorting and polystyrene recycling system for used expanded polystyrene in order to recover sufficient volumes to integrate them into its manufacturing processes.

Recycling expanded polystyrene is not difficult, but it does require us to pay certain attention because expanded polystyrene has a wide range of applications. We should choose different recycling methods for waste polystyrene from different sources. In other words, modern recycling technology can already support the recycling of polystyrene, but you need to choose a more efficient polystyrene recycling machine based on your actual situation.

Why do expanded polystyrene waste from different sources affect? For example, recycling expanded polystyrene with higher moisture content and drier polystyrene using polystyrene recycling machine is not the same. GREENMAX tries its best to use cold pressing technology to recycle waste with higher moisture content. If you are pursuing higher compression Than, then use hot melt technology to recover drier waste. If you want to recycle post-consumer polystyrene from the construction industry, which is mostly insulation boards with added flame retardants, we recommend using a polystyrene recycling machine with cold pressing technology.

Expanded polystyrene and PET are both very valuable recyclable materials. We should not favor one over the other. It is our top priority to use polystyrene recycling machines as soon as possible to increase the polystyrene recycling rate. The key step in setting up a polystyrene recycling system is to choose a suitable polystyrene recycling machine. If you feel that there is no way to make the best choice, you can describe your needs in detail and we will help you provide a feasible plan.
