"People saying EPS is not recyclable bothers me more than hearing the word ban," Michael Westerfield, corporate head of recycling initiatives at Dart Container Corp., said in an interview with PlasticsToday. "It's absolutely recyclable and we're doing it."

This attempt at EPS recycling is indeed not only seen among the public, but even in some public speeches, people are often confused about this. There’s no doubt that EPS is recyclable.Since 1960, Dart Container has manufactured foodservice foam cups and containers and is currently the world's largest. The business is still looking for ways to improve the efficiency of PS foam sorting at material recovery facilities (MRFs). Around the world, Dart has set up recycling drop-off points at eighteen of its operating facilities or factories. Additionally, Dart has teamed with a number of community centers to recycle foam drop-offs.

Currently, using machines for EPS recycling is a relatively mature recycling method. This method not only saves costs, but also does not require advanced recycling technology. It does not require precise operations by professionals like chemical recycling methods. Among them, the EPS melting machine is also highly praised by related industries because of its high compression ratio. The main reason why EPS is not well recycled is because the material is too bulky and difficult to transport and store, which makes the entire recycling process difficult. Difficulty in recycling does not mean that recycling is impossible. The EPS melting machine was created to solve this problem.

The compression ratio of the GREENMAX EPS melting machine can reach 90:1. It uses hot melt technology to squeeze out the air inside, which solves the main problem in the recycling process. Although it uses hot melt technology, you don't need to worry about heat and trouble during the heating process. GREENMAX EPS melting machine currently has the ability to divert gas to the outdoors, so you will not smell any odor when using the equipment. At the same time, we will provide you with a gas detection certificate to prove that the gas is harmless and can be discharged. 

We can call for reducing the use of EPS products, but we cannot think that EPS is not recyclable. Not only must we not pass on this wrong idea, we must also actively help and participate in recycling!
