GREENMAX EPS compactors make new resource cycling possible

Australia generates 2.4 million tonnes of plastic every year. The recycling rate is only 8.3%. It comes in all shapes and polymers，among them is a large number of EPS (a common plastic). The use of EPS has always been controversial. Some people think that this material should be completely banned from the source, while others think that ban is absurd. We should put more energy into EPS recycling . GREENMAX relatively agrees with the second point of view, so why can't we ban EPS, and how should we do the EPS recycling?

Why can't EPS be banned？

This would be counterproductive, or even impossible. Banning EPS would lead to more food waste, lower health standards, and less reliable supply chains. Banning EPS would significantly reduce our quality of life, and since we currently cannot find suitable EPS replacements, a sudden interruption of EPS use is bound to have an economic impact.

How to achieve EPS recycling?

Australia provided $30 million ($21.6 million) in loans to ResourceCo and Cleanaway for a plant to be built in New South Wales that will process 250,000 tonnes of waste a year into fuel for a nearby cement factory and exports to Asia, Ley's spokesperson confirmed.

With less than 10% of global plastic waste recycled, burning plastic as a fuel is becoming increasingly popular as a way to get rid of soaring volumes of single-use plastic trash. Most plastics are petroleum products, and EPS is no exception. Many experts questioned the incineration of EPS, which not only produces toxic gases, but also aggravates the greenhouse effect!

In this regard, GREENMAX proposes a more environmentally friendly EPS recycling solution, which is to use EPS compactors for mechanical recycling. GREENMAX provides EPS compactors with various powers. The government can choose according to the capital budget and the amount of EPS processed. The EPS compactor can compress EPS to one-fiftieth of the original volume, which greatly reduces the transportation cost, and the compressed EPS can be used to make plastic particles, which also achieves the purpose of resource recycling and economic circulation, and it is very green and environmentally friendly.

Another important point is that in addition to providing EPS compactors, GREENMAX also repurchases compressed EPS to make environmentally-friendly frame strips, which are fully in line with the Australian government's environmental protection spirit. GREENMAX needs about 100,000 tons of EPS for remanufacturing every year. If the government is willing to cooperate with GREENMAX, EPS recycling in Australia will no longer be a problem. At the same time, there is the government as an example. I believe that other related industries will follow suit and use this green way to recycle EPS, and jointly contribute to the EPS recycling business in Australia.
