Most companies engaged in the recycling industry will face the situation of recycling plastic foam, especially as the recycling business continues to expand, the types of waste recycled are also increasing. CARTOVIP, a recycler located in the Tierra del Fuego area in southern Argentina, mainly recycles metals. Tierra del Fuego is located in the extreme south of Argentina. There are many assembly plants for electronics and electrical appliances in the area, and the assembly plants will generate a lot of waste foam packaging materials. There is a potential source of scrap foam because of strong links with local assembly plants.

In 2017, CARTOVIP wanted to start a foam recycling business, so it contacted GREENMAX to learn about foam recycling machine, but due to various reasons, the customer did not get the recycling contract from the assembly plant, so the foam recycling plan was forced to suspend. Four years later, that is, in 21 years, the customer got the waste contract of the assembly plant again. There are two kinds of waste foams, EPS foam and EPE foam, which need to be recycled. The total waste is about 1200 cubic meters per month. Due to the large amount of waste, it has caused a lot of space pressure on the customer's factory. In addition, due to the large volume and light weight of the foam, it cannot be transported over long distances. The customer learned that there are many compressed foam materials in Buenos Aires. Buyers, so there is an urgent need for foam recycling machine to achieve foam volume reduction. The guest immediately thought of GREENMAX and got in touch with us again.

After many times of communication, I learned that the waste foam that the customer needs to compress contains both EPS and EPE, so I recommended the foam melting machine M-C200 to the customer. This foam recycling machine can recycle two kinds of foam at the same time. MARS E series is a new model launched by GREENMAX in 2018. It solves the problem that ordinary EPS hot melt machines cannot carry out foam packaging recycling. After knowing the basic information of the machine, payment method, delivery date and other information, the customer quickly placed an order for an M-C200.

At present, customers report that this foam melting machine is in good condition. The compressed EPS and EPE foam will be sold to the granulator in Buenos Aires, 3,000 kilometers away from Tierra del Fuego. The compression ratio of GREENMAX foam melting machine can be Reaching 90:1, successfully solved the problem of difficult transportation and storage, and greatly saved transportation costs. Among them, EPS hot-melt material can be sold at about US$1,000/ton, the price of white EPE hot-melt material is about US$930/ton, and the price of pink EPE can reach US$800/ton. While realizing foam packaging recycling, GREENMAX also helps customers realize resource recycling.
