Styrofoam densifier will help Avon area realize more extensive use of recycled materials

As the first community in Colorado to offer this service, the Town of Avon is pleased to announce the start of its new styrofoam recycling program. This program, also referred to as Styrofoam recycling, is made feasible by a styrofoam densifier that was made possible by a Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Colorado Recycling Resources Economic Opportunity award. It is anticipated that the creative scheme will drastically reduce the amount of difficult-to-recycle styrofoam garbage that ends up in the Eagle County Landfill. 

Tamra Nottingham Underwood, the mayor of Avon, stated, "Avon is proud to be leading the efforts towards styrofoam recycling in Colorado and continues to prioritize sustainability initiatives." 

Since recycled foam can be used to make picture frames and insulation for buildings, it's a great example of a circular economy. In addition to reaffirming our adherence to Avon's Recycling Ordinance, the Town of Avon is dedicated to making recycling comprehensive and available to all citizens. In order to ensure that appropriate recycling procedures are followed, the Town would like to urge users to check the notice that is in place. 

At present, this recycling model and business model have become very mature. The main process is: collect the styrofoam waste generated in residents' lives. We need to guide residents to do auxiliary work before recycling, such as removing the tape and labels attached to the styrofoam, and then throwing it to the designated location waiting for someone to collect it, and then it will be crushed, compressed, heated and melted through the styrofoam densifier.

The compression ratio of GREENMAX styrofoam densifier can reach 90:1, and then the compressed styrofoam ingots become valuable raw materials. These compressed materials are mixed with new materials in proportion to make plastic particles containing recycled materials, and then these plastic particles will be made into various plastic products other than photo frames. At present, this business model not only solves the problem of resource waste, but also effectively solves the problem of environmental pollution.

GREENMAX styrofoam densifier can effectively compress styrofoam. In fact, it is not only for styrofoam. If other types of foam are received during the recycling process, such as EPE foam, this foam is often used as commodity packaging, and the probability of its occurrence is also increasing year by year. GREENMAX styrofoam densifier can not only handle this single material, but also EPE foam and EPP foam at the same time
