The way of waste Styrofoam disposal and recycling

Styrofoam has excellent impact cushioning properties, strength toughness, thermal insulation properties, acid and alkali resistance, and light weight, waterproof and other performance. Its appearance is clean, easy to color, distinguish and molding, it is widely used in building insulation, shockproof, packaging and construction industries.

However, Styrofoam material difficult to degrade and causes “white pollution” after being used. Styrofoam recycling not only eliminates “white pollution” but also saves resources.

There are two main sources of Styrofoam recycling:
1.Foam scraps produced by Styrofoam production plants;
2.2. Various Styrofoam packaging recycled from recycling centers.

Recycling is not only a technical issue, the most important thing is to recognize that recycling and reusing are concerned with ensuring the sustainable development of the national economy and the coordinated development of economy, resources and environment.

The disposal of waste Styrofoam: the waste Styrofoam is crushed into pieces and some are processed into PS pellets, which are used as light aggregate and recycled material for house insulation material. The processing process is simple, only the pellets size and bulk weight of waste Styrofoam pellets should be controlled well. The basic performance requirement of waste PS pellets used in building insulation materials is that the maximum packing density is 20 kg / m ~ (3), and the pellets size less than 5 mm should be more than 90%.

The recycled Styrofoam basically retain the characteristics of the original PS pellets, namely light weight, small thermal conductivity, low water absorption, and good particle size. It is easy to be wrapped by slurry, good construction performance and low price. The advantages that PS pellets do not have.

For effective recycling of Styrofoam waste, you only need a Styrofoam compactor, whether you sell material or keep it for your own use, the Styrofoam compactor from GREENMAX is a good helper. It can reduce the foam volume from 50:1 to 90:1, thus helping you save much costs during the recycling process.

The contribution that GREENMAX made to Styrofoam recycling promotes more people to participate in recycling, and the foam recycling industry has a bright future.
