The global recycling market is changing all the time, and the development of recycling technology and the improvement of people's recycling awareness also determine whether a certain material can be included in the scope of recycling. Styrofoam is a plastic foam, and there is a lot of controversy surrounding Styrofoam. Entering the 21st century, according to environmental monitoring reports, waste Styrofoam has quickly occupied the position of the "number one killer", which has a serious negative impact on our soil, ocean, and even biosphere. Although Styrofoam can be recycled, the huge size of Styrofoam is undoubtedly a stumbling block on the road to recycling, making many people think that recycling Styrofoam is meaningless. But a Styrofoam densifier can solve these problems for recyclers and Styrofoam applicators.



Plastic products are often disposable or used for a short period of time and then thrown away. Currently, about 8 million tons of plastic end up in the oceans every year. The rest is deposited on the ground. The impact of plastic waste on the environment and on our health is serious and global. Following the serious consequences, the European Union issued a directive for plastic products aimed at reducing their impact on the environment. As for Styrofoam, which makes up a large proportion of plastic products, the Styrofoam industry also strongly supports the related recycling policies. And FRC, an organization that has awarded grants used to increase Styrofoam recycling since 2015. And the grants are always used in a Styrofoam densifier.



Why is Styrofoam densifier the first choice for anyone who wants to recycle Styrofoam? For one thing, Styrofoam's sheer size means that when collected together, it can fill a warehouse in no time. Styrofoam contains 98% air, so the expanded volume makes collecting, storing, and transporting Styrofoam difficult and not cost-effective. However, if Styrofoam is processed with a Styrofoam densifier after collecting Styrofoam, the later process will be easier. Styrofoam densifier through stirring and hot melt treatment, Styrofoam box, packaging, etc. It is reduced to 1/50 or even 1/90 of its original volume. The compressed Styrofoam, called ingot, has a smooth surface that is easy to transport and recycle.



The technology of the Styrofoam densifier is reliable and mature enough to solve the Styrofoam recycling problem. Many Styrofoam producers and end suppliers have chosen it with good results. GREENMAX Styrofoam densifier, which meets the needs of many recyclers, will continue to develop and progress on the road of recycling.
