Terminated recycling operation in Montclair to reopen with styrofoam densifier

Montclair was forced to end the municipal organization's styrofoam recycling program! The recycling program had to be interrupted due to the closure of service providers in the area. Montclair implemented Styrofoam recycling after successfully running a pilot program last summer. Springfield-based recycling provider Foam Pack remanufactures styrofoam plastic into other products, such as picture frames, officials said. But last week, the recycling station that had served the area for about 80 years was closed, so people will now have to mix waste Styrofoam with other household waste.

 

But we all know that waste Styrofoam is different from other garbage, and we don’t recommend mixing it with other household garbage for disposal. It will have a negative impact in terms of environmental protection, resource recycling, composting and greening, etc. Therefore, The district should put in place a sensible scheme soon to replace the previous styrofoam recycling scheme, which could actually be modeled on what some other communities are doing: Install a styrofoam densifier in a suitable location to assist the surrounding communities in styrofoam recycling, compact the loose styrofoam, then donate or sell it downstream, and use it to make a variety of new plastic products as before. The use of styrofoam densifier can effectively organize different types of garbage to mix together, resulting in environmental pollution and waste of resources.

 

We need the cooperation of the residents to stop mixing waste Styrofoam with other rubbish! Sending them to the designated recycling location, and then crushing, heating and extruding by the styrofoam densifier can compress these wastes into dense ingots in time, and the large volume reduction is conducive to subsequent recycling work.

This is also the decisive factor for the smooth progress of recycling work. The result of low-quality compression equipment is often failure. At the same time, a good way to improve the purity of styrofoam recycled material is to do a good job in garbage classification, which is conducive to reproduction and also beneficial to Circulation of resources.
