Is Foam Recycling Possible

Of course, foam can be recycled. It is a kind 6 plastic. But there isn't a facility to properly handle proper foam recycling. Lots of local councils simply do not consider foam for recycling, and also ask for it to be placed in the general rubbish (red lid container) instead of the recycling collection (the yellow lid container). This is a pity, due to the fact that the foam could be put to good use. However, Australia many councils still make it possible for you to help the environment and also recycle foam.

Foam recycling drop-off stations are available via many Councils throughout Sydney and Melbourne at a series of places. Once collected, your foam will certainly be recycled and re-manufactured right into new items.

Foam is recyclable at several phases of its life cycle. Throughout manufacturing, all making waste can be fully reprocessed back into the production mix for the manufacture of new foam products. Foam offcuts from constructing applications can be recovered and also reused during the construction process. GREENMAX supplies foam recycling equipment and works very closely with Australia local companies to grab unused waste or end-of-use foam, transport it safely to our production center, and also granulate it for reuse.

As Foam does not degrade throughout its life, indicating that it is perfect for recovery as well as recycling from nearly all applications.

Foam can be utilized to generate a variety of plastic products, ranging from CD cases to cutlery. It has even been made used to make plastic furnishings. This draws away waste from landfills and minimizes the need for petroleum from which polystyrene is derived. The foam is more than 90% air. This air can be removed through compaction, or by melting the foam. In some cases, these plastic products can be further reused. This generates a material that can be made used to make plastic products.

Industry Foam Recycling

Foam is used for lots of packaging as well as transport applications. Being light-weight yet fairly rigid it is optimal for holding and protecting many delicate things. This foam can quickly accumulate in terrific amounts. Lots of companies are entrusted with a large pile of foam, which is inconvenient and also a little expensive to eliminate. This situation can be greatly assisted with compaction.

Foam can be recycled at the appropriate center. Foam recycling equipment can compress the expanded foam to a much smaller size. This makes the material easier to handle, and also cheaper to transport. These equipments are a good investment for many companies.
