As cutting and forming processes generate large amounts of EPS scrap, many cutters are turning to Styrofoam recycling. Before investing in a foam compactor, however, three key questions should be addressed: how much EPS waste is produced each month, whether facility space is sufficient, and whether the goal is simple waste handling or material reuse in production.

GreenMax Styrofoam Compactor A-C300 is an ideal solution for enterprise-level EPS recycling, helping businesses that use large volumes of foam packaging turn waste into value—transforming it from a disposal burden into a revenue-generating resource.

EPP recycling mainly uses two technologies: cold compaction with an EPP compactor (screw compression with light surface heating) and thermal melting with a foam densifier (three-stage high-temperature melting). Both turn EPP waste into high-density blocks for sale—but which option is the better fit?

Liquid-filled PET bottles have always been a challenge in the recycling process, but the GreenMax Poseidon pet bottle compactor solves this through automated dewatering of PET bottles, achieving up to 90% liquid removal. It’s one of the most effective tools for plastic bottles recycling.

Used EPS farm boxes often contain dirt and other contaminants—so how should they be handled? GreenMax offers two solutions to support polystyrene recycling and agricultural sustainability: 1.A simple washing setup + EPS compactor for lightly contaminated waste 2.A full washing recycling machine for heavily contaminated farm boxes

GreenMax provides EPS foam manufacturers with a complete Styrofoam recycling system — using a foam shredder for clean edge material reuse + a Styrofoam densifier to compress waste and dust for resale.

The GreenMax Mars Series EPP densifier is easy to operate and works well across automotive, logistics, and packaging applications. With its one-touch compression modes, customers can start EPP recycling more easily—without repeated testing or adjustment.

The GreenMax plastic dewatering machine Poseidon series offers one of the best shampoo bottle recycling solutions: cosmetic dewatering + bottle squeezing and compaction + plastic packaging reuse.

GreenMax has designed a customized EPS recycling and EPE recycling system for the customer — one machine for two materials, capable of processing both EPS and EPE simultaneously. After testing, the compression results were highly impressive.

As the solar industry grows, EPE recycling has become a key challenge. The GreenMax Zeus foam densifier offers an eco-friendly, all-in-one solution to efficiently manage and recycle packaging waste.
