GREENMAX Styrofoam Compactor Helps Temco Improve EPS Packaging Recycling

Temco provides logistics and distribution services for major home appliance brands across the United States. Every day, its distribution centers collect large quantities of clean EPS (Styrofoam) packaging after appliances are delivered and unpacked. Because EPS is lightweight but highly bulky, storing and transporting the waste became increasingly costly, creating a strong need for an efficient Styrofoam recycling solution.

Temco has a lot of clean home appliances foam packaging, and one of its locations even has up to 18 tons a month. In the past, these waste foam packaging were just sent to the local recyclers by Temco.

However, when the waste market deteriorated in 2010, the local recyclers decided not to  cooperate with Temco. And this made Temco very upset, because a lot of waste EPS couldn’t be handled. And the annoyed problem is the waste EPS occupied a lot of storage space. Finally, Temco decided to find a solution by itself.

At first, Temco bought three Styrofoam recycling compactors at a quite low price. But due to the very low density of the machines, the capacity is not good enough. Temco still wanted to find other compactors with good quality and high compression density.

Later, Temco chose GREENMAX Styrofoam compactor A-C200. The compactor has already been used for almost 1 year till now. During the 1 year, GREENMAX ‘s engineers made special trip to America for three times to teach Temco the operation skills, in order to run the function better.
