Legislation to gradually phase out single-use plastic foam food service products, "loose fill" like packing peanuts and non-medical disposable coolers, has been introduced by Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas. According to them, these materials are known to have harmful health effects and to contaminate waterways. However, this approach has been met with many doubts!

According to a statement from the Washington-based American Chemistry Council's president of America's Plastic Makers, Ross Eisenberg, the legislation is misguided and won't significantly reduce plastic pollution; instead, it will force a transition to materials that frequently have worse performance attributes and higher greenhouse gas footprints. Opponents mainly believe that the use of such cost-effective materials should not be refused due to fear of pollution. There are risks in finding substitutes, which may consume more resources, human and financial resources, and fail to achieve better results. Regarding these two different sounds, GREENMAX supports the rational use of expanded polystyrene foam rather than blindly banning it. The step that really requires effort is to properly recycle expanded polystyrene with the polystyrene compactor or other types of recycling machines.

The use of polystyrene compactor for crushing and compression is a recognized environmentally friendly recycling technology, because while solving white pollution, it uses the lowest possible energy consumption and resource investment to achieve the reuse of waste resources. Simply put, it is a minimal In exchange for maximum benefit output, this is one of the main reasons why polystyrene compactor has been gradually accepted by all over the world in recent years, especially by large, medium and small enterprises that need to consider cost recycling.

GREENMAX polystyrene compactor Apolo series is more suitable for recycling expanded polystyrene foam, because polystyrene is moderately soft and hard and is easy to be compressed. Only the force of screw extrusion is enough to achieve the desired compression effect.
