With the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, waste reduction and recycling in laboratories have also begun to be paid attention to and measures have been taken. For the past two years, an Irish chemist has also started working to reduce waste and save money. There is a very important part of the waste that needs to be dealt with urgently: EPS waste. The medicines and parts of various products and instruments that often appear in the laboratory cannot be transported without EPS packaging, so the amount of EPS waste accumulated in the laboratory is also very large.



According to statistics, from 2019 to the present, the research chemist Jane Kilcoyne has saved laboratory expenses by 15,800 euros, reduced non-chemical waste by more than 95%, and reduced the consumption of single-use plastics by 69%. It is true that environmental sustainability requires a certain amount of energy and capital investment, but it is well worth it in the long run.



Some media interviewed Kilcoyne about the relevant experience of successful "laboratory waste reduction": their laboratory used to generate about 4,000 kilograms of waste each year, but after composting and recycling, only 130 kilograms of waste are now generated. Waste EPS is no longer thrown away as garbage, but is processed through an EPS recycling machine. The air in EPS (EPS contains 98% air) will be compressed and turned into blocks, which will be shipped to various recycling companies at home and abroad.



INTCO Recycling is a company specializing in the recycling of foam plastics, EPS is one of the materials we specialize in recycling. INTCO has helped many companies or recycling centers that have never dealt with EPS recycling before to start the EPS recycling business smoothly. INTCO offers a wide range of EPS recycling machines to choose from depending on the needs of customers. GREENMAX EPS densifiers are also recognized by customers. Continued recycling of EPS brings more than just environmental changes. In the long run, investment in EPS recycling can also bring positive benefits. As an increasingly popular eco-friendly business, EPS waste can be sold to recyclers for the manufacture of various plastic products.



As Kilcoyne has said, recycling EPS is absolutely worth it. You can gain a sense of success in reducing pollution, as well as support from those environmentalists. At first, changing your view or rules of dealing with EPS waste, seems difficult. But INTCO will help you make EPS recycling easy to carry out.
