GREENMAX Polystyrene Compactor— The Optimum Assistant for ECOTEC Sàrl

As more and more people begin to join the ranks of plastic recycling, polystyrene recycling has also begun to be seen and taken into consideration by more companies. In some developed countries, such as France, polystyrene recycling started relatively early. They realized early on that they couldn't let polystyrene waste take up space in landfills, and they didn't want to see polystyrene littering the streets. So polystyrene recycling has become an imperative.

As a plastic material with excellent thermal insulation properties, polystyrene is mainly used in the construction and packaging industries. Especially in the construction industry, its excellent performance and low price make it the darling of the construction industry. Therefore, there are naturally some companies that specialize in recycling polystyrene waste from the construction industry.


Founded in 1994, ECOTEC Sàrl specializes in the sorting and treatment of waste resulting from the demolition of buildings and construction sites. With these activities ECOTEC contributes to reducing landfills and increasing the rate of recycling and recovery. As they have collected so much polystyrene waste, they found that storage had become a problem for them. We all know that polystyrene is a lightweight but bulky material, this makes it’s hard to store polystyrene because it occupies too much space. Besides, when delivering polystyrene waste to landfills and incineration plants, the transportation cost is also high. Besides, their traditional way of disposing of polystyrene can’t fulfill the circular economy. Faced with these problems that block their business development, ECOTEC Sàrl urgently needed to find a suitable solution.


Fortunately, at IFAT inhabitation, the GREENMAX polystyrene compactor launched by INTCO Recycling caught the attention of ECOTEC Sàrl. After all, ECOTEC Sàrl desperately needed a more environmentally friendly way to dispose of their massive polystyrene waste. After a deeper understanding, ECOTEC Sàrl knew that INTCO Recycling not only provides polystyrene compactor, but also buys back the compressed blocks to process into new plastic products, such as picture frames, mirror frames, and construction frames. This close-loop solution perfectly matches ECOTEC’s needs: increasing the rate of recovery and recycling of waste, and therefore to reducing landfilling and incineration.

After in-depth discussions with INTCO Recycling and a detailed understanding of GREENMAX, ECOTEC Sàrl decided to order a GREENMAX polystyrene compactor A-C200. It turned out that they made the right choice. The polystyrene waste processed by the GREENMAX polystyrene compactor is compressed into blocks. The volume of Blocks is one-fiftieth of the volume before being compressed, which greatly saves storage space, improves transportation efficiency, and saves transportation costs. In addition, blocks will no longer be sent to landfill, but sold to INTCO Recycling, enabling a true circular economy.


Backed by a professional and strong team of engineers, nearly 20 years of R&D experience, more than a thousand machines are sold all over the world... These are the reasons why INTCO Recycling is trusted by so many of our customers.
