Various regions in the United States have been recycling waste from a very early age, especially California, which has the highest recycling rate for all kinds of waste in the country. For example, metal, paper, cans, bottles, etc. But compared to other types of waste, California's recycling rate for plastics is much lower. Recycling of styrofoam plastic in particular is far from ideal, according to CalRecycle, the California recycling and waste management agency, which dumps more than 12,000 tons of plastic into landfills every day — enough to fill 219 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The most popular types of waste plastics in California are HDPE and PET. People think that these two waste plastics have higher recycling value, but they have little interest in styrofoam, which is low in density and bulky. They believe that styrofoam is difficult to store and transport, it takes a lot of money and energy to process, and the profit is not high. As a result, more and more styrofoam pallets, styrofoam packaging are appearing in landfills. In fact, these views are outdated, and the birth of GREENMAX has completely overturned this wrong concept.

In addition to environmental factors, styrofoam raw material prices have skyrocketed in recent years, and many recyclers have seen business opportunities. However, expensive transportation and difficult storage are still two difficulties in recycling styrofoam. Everyone is looking for a way to reduce the cost of recycling styrofoam. For this reason, GREENMAX's designer team has specially designed and produced a variety of styrofoam recycling equipment to achieve low-cost recycling.

Styrofoam densifier has the highest compression ratio among GREENMAX Styrofoam recycling machines, which can compress styrofoam to 1/90 of its volume, effectively solving the problem. This means that waste Styrofoam, which previously required 90 transports, can now be transported to its destination only once. The substantial reduction in volume also saves storage space, and there is no need to search for a venue or even rent a warehouse at a high price.

Some people may worry that the use of styrofoam densifier has indeed achieved the purpose of volume reduction, so can these styrofoam ingots be sold smoothly? certainly! At present, this kind of recycled material is very popular, and a standardized trading industry has been formed. Manufacturers use waste styrofoam to make hangers, flower pots, and even decorations. GREENMAX also buys back styrofoam ingots, which are used to make photo frames, mirror frames, picture frames, etc. and sell them in IKEA and other stores. Recycling styrofoam is a very profitable and worthwhile project!
