For a long time, EPS (Expanded polystyrene) is a kind of material that people love and hate. It is cheap and very convenient. It is widely used in our daily life, but it torments users from the perspective of environmental protection. EPS consumer packaging and food containers are particularly troublesome.
It mainly includes the following aspects:
①At present, it cannot be recycled through roadside recycling.
②For consumers, the drop-off service for recycled materials is limited.
③Retailers have low utilization of existing EPS collection.
④Due to its lightweight and fragility, it will have adverse effects when littering.



Because of these problems mentioned above, the recycling of EPS packaging and containers has always been a headache for recyclers. Fortunately, with the development of recycling machines such as the EPS compactor, people in Europe are increasingly aware of the key role that EPS can play in the circular economy as an important contributor to the EU's circular goal.

In Europe, the EPS compactor can be said to be an excellent assistant for EPS recyclers. In the case of strict emission policies, the EPS compactor using cold-pressing technology combines the three steps of feeding, crushing, and densification. Once the precision equipment is started, it will start to operate, and EPS can be easily recovered without a large amount of labor cost. In addition, the volume of EPS blocks compressed by the screw is only 1 / 50 of the original, which can greatly save the storage cost.



In addition, the EPS compactor not only provides technology but also allows more people to know about EPS' profit-making scheme, which helps Europe's recycling prospects most. After being treated by this recycling equipment, EPS waste will become compact EPS blocks, which are granulating materials, which means that it is not useless to choose to recycle EPS. These can be sold to plastic particle manufacturers as granulating raw materials. And then EPS recyclers can profit from this.



Today, the recycling environment of EPS in Europe is very healthy. In many European countries, the actual recovery rate of EPS packaging is more than 50%, while in some countries, such as Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the actual recovery rate of EPS fish boxes is as high as 90%. It can be seen that EPS recycling has been recognized by many recyclers and has great potential. In the future, EPS Compactor's profit model will allow more PES recyclers to participate and contribute their strength.
