According to Betsy Bowers, executive director of GESA and the North American EPS Industry Alliance (EPS-IA), recycling EPS transport packaging is not only possible but is already progressing on a global level. "This demonstrates the industry's ongoing efforts and success in leading initiatives that contribute to a more circular economy and reaffirms UNEP's acknowledgment of EPS recycling," Bowers continues.

At present, the way to recycle waste polystyrene is not new. There are many ways to recycle expanded polystyrene. The most important and popular way is to use mechanical recycling. At present, many customers are pursuing recycling equipment with a higher compression ratio because the higher the compression ratio, the lower the recycling cost saved. This is also the reason why more and more people are pursuing polystyrene melting machines. Then, in today's era, we need to pay attention not only to advanced recycling equipment but also to whether the circular use of polystyrene waste meets certain standards.

The recycling of polystyrene waste may become the most concerning issue for the public in the next 10 years. Because the final use of waste is one of the important criteria for whether recycling is successful. This means that recycling activities cannot end the use of polystyrene melting machines. GREENMAX realized this problem more than a decade ago. We repurchased polystyrene ingots while selling polystyrene melting machines. What is more worth mentioning is that GREENMAX is the end user of recycled material! This means that GREENMAX can consume waste polystyrene stably.

The main sources of EPS recycling include seafood boxes, agricultural packaging, automotive parts/packaging, and transportation cushioning materials for home appliances, electronic products, and furniture. GREENMAX polystyrene melting machines have been sold all over the world, and they also reuse waste polystyrene from all over the world.
