3 Steps to Recycle EPS and Turn Waste Into Treasure

AUBURN, Australia - April 14, 2021 - PRLog -- Waste EPS foam is a source of recycled plastics, and all plastics basically have the value of recycling. EPS foam is widely used in packaging such as food containers and cups, delivery boxes, etc. If discarded, it not only wastes valuable raw materials but also pollutes the environment. Recycling EPS not only turns waste into treasure but also benefits the environment. So how to recycle waste EPS?

Step 1: Separate Collection

The EPS waste (such as scrap) discarded during production and processing has a single type, no pollution, no impurities, and can be collected and processed separately; In addition, EPS packaging waste can easily be mixed with other waste materials. We recommend that residents spread the knowledge of EPS foam classification and recycling, or set up a special EPS foam recycling center to collect these foam waste materials.

Step 2: Shredding and Compression

To realize the efficient recycling and treatment of EPS foam waste, it is necessary to select a suitable foam recycling machine according to the nature of the material.

GREENMAX EPS Compactor is a mechanical environmental protection equipment that extrudes waste foam plastics according to the principle of pressure generated by the rotation of the screw and performs cold compression treatment on them. When in use, the operator only needs to put the foam blocks into the hopper, and there is a grading machine in the machine to smash the foam waste into small pieces, then fall into the compression bin, and squeeze it into a compact foam block by a screw.

Step 3: Recycling and Reusing

After sorting, collecting, and compressing, the EPS foam needs to undergo a granulation process to transform into PS particles. It will become a variety of transparent and opaque particles, which are then classified according to their properties, and finally become recyclable materials that can be reused to make photo frames, mirror frames, skirting lines, and other products, thereby increasing the recycling value of EPS foam.

The significance of EPS foam recycling is not only to protect the environment and avoid waste of resources but also to truly realize the transformation of waste into treasure and the recycling of resources. Please visit http://www.greenmaxmachine.com.au/ for more information.
