Volunteer innovative foam recycling effort to scale up in Northfield, Montague in short order

Annie Chappell, a Northfield resident, is very resistant to throwing the styrofoam boxes generated in her life into the trash can on the side of the road. She is committed to investigating whether anyone has the same objection as him. If there are people who think the same, they will set up a volunteer group helping with Foam box recycling. Community Groups Drawdown Montague is a nonprofit organized by individual volunteers from the Northfield and Franklin County Solid Waste Management Districts who advocate for the environment and help with Styrofoam recycling. Volunteers help with logistics, order supplies, write press releases, design leaflets, and work with town administrators. Foam recycling in nearby areas is currently going smoothly because of people's positive attitudes.

 

People hope that more and more residents can actively respond to foam box recycling activities. If you want to continuously expand the scale of recycling, you must continue to improve all aspects, so as to ensure the smooth development of the recycling business. The most common problem encountered in recycling polystyrene foam is that the bulky foam boxes are inconvenient to transport, and there is not enough spacious space to store these foam plastics for a long time. If the volume of these expanded foam foams can be reduced, these problems will be completely solved. Foam compactor is a professional machine specially used to reduce the volume of expanded foam.

 

GREENMAX, a mechanical brand under Intco Recycling, designed and manufactured foam compactor for compressing foam plastic. The compression ratio can reach 50:1. It is a good recycling equipment. Many customers who are using foam compactor said that with this machine, recycling becomes easier. Simpler and more orderly. The compressed waste foam becomes compact, and only needs to occupy part of the warehouse's inventory for storage, and it can be sold in batches when it accumulates to a certain weight. In community activities, these wastes will eventually be properly disposed of: Sent to Gold Circuit E-Cycling in Agavam. According to the company website, the company can use recycled expanded polystyrene foam to make picture frames, baseboards or crown moldings, building insulation and insulation panels known as extruded polystyrene.
