There will be a collection of “Styrofoam” or Expanded Polystyrene EPS #6 on Saturday, in the swap area of the Transfer Station. An EPA study found styrene, a toxic component of Styrofoam, in 100% of human fat tissue samples taken. Styrene is believed to be a carcinogen (cancer-causing) by the Department of Health and Human Services and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. In fact, recycling the collected Styrofoam is not only protecting the actually protecting our health.
Needless to say, you know that collecting Styrofoam is not the ultimate goal, recycling is. Now many recycling centers have begun to purchase Styrofoam recycling machines to process Styrofoam, making these collection activities more meaningful. Styrofoam compactor is one of the representative machines.
With the increasingly serious pollution of plastics, Styrofoam, as the non-recyclable foam # 6, has not been accepted by the blue trash can, and can only be sent to the landfill, and then with the waste flow into the ocean, it is eaten by marine organisms, and finally endangers people’s health. In order to solve this problem, some recycling companies began to try to apply advanced science and technology to recycling, so as to create a zero pollution and recycling Styrofoam equipment. It is for this purpose that GREENMAX Recycling designed the Styrofoam compactor.
The operation process of the Styrofoam compactor without heating is very environmentally-friendly. It can dispose of the Styrofoam waste with cold-pressing technology and make it into the compacted blocks with the compression ratio of 1::90. The cold-compressing blocks can be used to make Plastic particles, which is the raw materials to make the frame products.
Styrofoam compactor for Styrofoam recycling is a complete terminal recycling process, will let Styrofoam complete the transformation from waste to commodity, but also because it will not produce secondary pollution, it will shine in the future recycling industry.
