A Canadian business is investing millions to commercialize expanded polystyrene recycling using solvents in the Montreal region. For a new C$40 million (US$30.2 million) project that will recycle 9,000 tons of both post-consumer and post-industrial EPS, Polystyvert Inc. anticipates breaking ground this fall. We cannot deny the use of innovative ways to recycle EPS, but considering the practicality, using mechanical recycling with EPS densifier may achieve the same good effect as chemical technology or even better! For commercial recycling, the most important thing we should consider is the need for investment recycling projects This is understandable for an enterprise, especially for related enterprises, whose main business is not to recycle EPS, and the EPS waste generated is only a small part of the entire production process, so we should be more Pay attention to cost-effective, simple and easy EPS recycling methods.

Mechanical compression of EPS does not change the molecular structure and chemical properties of EPS, but only reduces its volume to facilitate the subsequent granulation and remanufacturing process. For example, using EPS densifier to recycle is to first crush large pieces of EPS waste into appropriate sizes (the degree of crushing can be determined according to the density of EPS waste), then heat, melt the EPS waste into a semi-solid state and extrude it. It will form dense and hard EPS ingots, which are valuable raw materials, and many manufacturers are willing to buy such ingots for granulation, and then manufacture new plastic products.

The compression ratio of GREENMAX EPS densifier is 90:1. Higher compression ratio is also one of the most obvious advantages of EPS densifier. Fortunately, in addition to providing EPS densifier, GREENMAX will also buy back compressed EPS ingots. This total solution saves considerable energy and time for enterprises.
