The correct way that you should know for Styrofoam packaging waste recycling

As Styrofoam packaging waste is such a annoying item in our daily life. People are looking for proper ways to deal with it.

Commonly there are three main ways to recycle polystyrene packaging are landfill, incineration and recycling. Which way to choose is depend on the country, the United States is based on landfill, while Europe and Japan are based on incineration.

Landfills have some drawbacks, because plastics are generally light and hard to decompose, making land soft and difficult to use in the future. In addition, there are also weaknesses in the incineration process. Because plastic foams can easily damage incinerators at high temperatures, the gases burned will cause global warming, and some plastic foams will even release harmful gases, causing air pollution.

Compared with the above two methods, recycling is the best way for Styrofoam disposal. However, due to its labor-intensive characteristic, high cost and the lack of appropriate recycling channels, so far the world’s Styrofoam recycling has accounted for only about 15% of total plastic consumption. But because of the limitation of world oil resources, people should consider from the aspect of saving the earth’s resources, so Styrofoam recycling is of great significance.

For the process of volume reduction, GREENMAX is a good helper for you. The GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor can crush discarded EPS packaging materials into pieces with blades and gears and then compress them easily into compact blocks at the ratio of 50:1, and compacted EPS packaging materials can be reused for other products, such as frame products and building constructions.

With the development f e-commence, the amount of Styrofoam packaging waste is large. So we should recycle it as much as we can.
