GE Logistics CEVA Cooperated with GREENMAX on EPS Recycling

As a leading global logistics provider, CEVA Logistics manages complex supply chain and distribution operations for customers around the world.

The sites of CEVA in San Diego, California are mainly responsible for the distribution of household appliances from GE (General Electric Company), including Home Depot, JC Penny, and some other local stores with more than 30 workers. Every day, they distribute hundreds of household appliances to the terminal customers of San Diego, thus resulting in a large amount of EPS waste needing to be dealt with. Due to the limited warehouse space of CEVA , the Riley Recycling, which cooperates with CEVA, has begun to dispose the EPS waste.

Introduced by CEVA, GREENMAX has successfully drawn Riley's attention for its high quality products and considerate after-sales services. Later, Riley placed the first order of a foam densifier machine M-C50 to dispose the EPS waste. With six months of operation, they are very satisfied with the GREENMAX machine and after-sale services. Since then the waste EPS from CEVA have almost been sold to INTCO Recycling.

Furthermore,With the growth of Riley’s business, the foam densifier M-C50 with a small capacity can not meet the needs of the large number of EPS recycling any more. Riley purchased a large foam densifier M-C200 with a capacity of 440lbs per hour, making Riley expand their production even faster.

EPS ingots

Now Riley recycles 40000lbs EPS every month and sells it to INTCO Recycling after melting. Till now, Riley has already been the largest EPS recycling company in the San Diego region. With the help of GREENMAX Riley intends to continue its development in the EPS recycling industry. They plan to set up new branches in Los Angeles and Tijuana in Mexico, aiming to become the largest EPS recycling company in southern California.
