How To Recycle Polyethylene Foam?

Polyethylene foam, also named PE foam, is an environmentally-safe foaming material that can be recycled. The versatile physical properties of foamed polyethylene open new possibilities in weight-saving and energy-saving. It can be used in many fields like packing, architecture, electrical engineering, etc.

INTCO Recycling is a specialist in PE foam recycling and provides GREENMAX Polyethylene Foam Compactor/Densifier machines. The recycled PE foam blocks produced by these machines can be bought back by INTCO Recycling for further recycling and reuse.

Polyethylene Foam Recycling Process:

As the large number and volume of PE foam, it needs huge storage space, the transportation is inconvenient, so it is difficult to recycle. To save the cost of recycling, GREENMAX produced compact and hot melt machines to recycle PE foam.

Polyethylene Foam Recycling Solutions:

1. GREENMAX PE Foam Compactor

GREENMAX compacting machine of PE foam recycling, can crush the waste PE foam by the bearing and blades as much as possible. Meanwhile, the machine will compact the waste EPE under heavy pressure. A layer of hot melt film is formed on the surface of the compression block, which is convenient for transportation and can effectively prevent the formation of EPE rebound.

2.GREENMAX PE Foam Densifier

GREENMAX hot melting machine of PE foam can crush the waste PE foam into pieces. After a process of shredding, heat melting and extruding and molding, the waste PE foam becomes densified ingots, could save storage space and transportation costs.
