Sohnen Cooperated with GREENMAX to Recycle EPS Foam

Sohnen Enterprises, Inc. is one of the leading consumer product refurbishing and reverse logistics companies in North America, headquartered in Southern California with large-scale refurbishing operations in Tijuana, Mexico. The company mainly handles returned products from major U.S. retailers and brands, especially televisions and display screens. With the growing volume of electronic product returns and packaging waste, efficient EPS foam recycling solutions have become increasingly important for reducing storage space, lowering transportation costs, and supporting sustainable waste management in the reverse logistics industry.

The return goods will be bought by Sohnen and received by their American warehouse, and then transported to Tijuana’s factory for the first time. Goods in good condition will be repackaged directly, if broken, they will be repaired and packed again, during which, the original EPS packaging will be thrown away and replaced with their own yellow packaging.

Therefore, recycling EPS packaging begins, as it accumulates to about 20,000 to 30,000 lbs per month. Originally, these packaging was sold directly to a few buyers with a low price, and later, with the increasing number of EPS, Sohnen decided to buy their own machine for EPS recycling at the first time after their new factory was built.

After comparing some kinds of recycling machines, the cooperation between Sohnen and GREENMAX successfully began in September, mainly owing to the unique special design capabilities of GREENMAX and the total solution that we can steadily purchase back their recycled EPS.

After their visit to our costumer Living Space to see the GREENMAX recycling machine, Sohnen finally picked us out of many competitors. According to their room size, we specially designed a customized EPS densifier M-C300.

Recently, Sohnen placed an order of GREENMAX EPS foam densifier M-C300, and the machine was officially operated. Now, we have steadily purchased back their recycled EPS ingots and help them turned waste EPS into benefits.

To recycle EPS, GREENMAX is the best partner with professional technology, excellent equipment, and top-grade after-sales service.
