Foam Packaging is a common transportation tool in our daily life. Most of them are made of Styrofoam plastic, which is light in weight and easy to carry, so it has become the first choice for packaging in many logistics industries. Styrofoam boxes are used to transport vegetables, meat and all kinds of online-shopped goods. After completing its mission, Styrofoam waste was thrown away in large numbers, and landfills that used to be able to handle Styrofoam began to refuse to accept it. Styrofoam waste has become a headache.



Now, some governments are also facing this problem, and residents are complaining that Styrofoam has become a burden, affecting people's living environment. Some governments have decided to uniformly dispose of Styrofoam waste from residents. For example, East Gippsland Shire Council, is located in the Gippsland of Victoria, Australia. In 2018, the government decided to dispose of Styrofoam waste from residents. Since then, residents' household Styrofoam waste has been sent to disposal points set up by the government. Initially, the East Gippsland authority simply stored Styrofoam waste it collected in a warehouse, then regularly trailed it to a landfill for disposal. However, with the increasing difficulty of management and the increasingly serious pollution to the environment, the government had to give up this plan and find new methods.



After getting information about the market, the government thought Styrofoam Recycling was a good solution. Styrofoam is actually easy to recycle due to its special structure. Although Styrofoam is large in volume, it contains 98% air. As long as the air is extruded, the volume of Styrofoam will be greatly reduced and convenient for transportation and processing. After market research, the government chose GREENMAX Styrofoam recycling machine, provided by INTCO Recycling, to reduce the volume of Styrofoam and facilitate recycling.



In the following years, the local environment was effectively improved. In addition, compressed INGOTS can be sold as raw materials for renewable plastic products after being processed by GREENMAX Styrofoam Recycling machine. The wise choice—Styrofoam recycling by the local government improves the local economy and enhances the environment polluted by Styrofoam.
