Palmy Council has started recycling polystyrene from nearby residents. More and more governments are investing in polystyrene recycling. 

Ferguson Street Recycling Centre now has a new drop-off point for all your clean household polystyrene. Once dropped off, it will be recycled into picture frames and decorative moldings. No more stuffing bulky polystyrene into your bin. If you’ve been storing it in your shed while you wait for a solution, now’s the time to load it up in your car!

The head of Palmy Council says the new service is likely to be a hit. “Last year we asked residents if they wanted a service like this and the overwhelming answer was ‘yes!’ Many people are tired of stuffing bulky polystyrene into their bins and rubbish bags, so we’re delighted that Palmy has introduced this new service.”

Because polystyrene is lightweight, bulky and difficult to clean, it’s expensive to recycle it effectively. We’ve invested in a polystyrene recycling machine to process the polystyrene foam we collect, which is then compressed and recycled into new products.

More and more communities and local governments are beginning to invest in equipment to recycle expanded polystyrene generated by residents. The head of Palmy Council said, "We are committed to building an eco-city, and our waste management and minimization plan aims to increase the proportion of waste diverted from landfill from 38% to 48% by 2025. We can't do this alone, so getting residents to recycle more items is vital to helping achieve our goals."

GREENMAX Polystyrene Recycling Machine Helps Communities Complete the Closed loop of Polystyrene Recycling

Aiming at the problems of environmental pollution and low economic benefits caused by polystyrene landfills, GREENMAX has proposed a complete polystyrene recycling solution. Different from traditional landfills, GREENMAX has helped related councils in many countries to carry out polystyrene recycling based on the concept of recycling and economic closed loop.

GREENMAX has designed polystyrene compactors for better polystyrene recycling. Because polystyrene is large, it is very inconvenient to transport and takes up a lot of storage space. The irregular shape of polystyrene food packaging makes the on-site environment look very uncomfortable. And it requires high transportation costs, so compressing polystyrene is a crucial step in the process of recycling polystyrene. Polystyrene compactors can compress loose polystyrene to one-fiftieth of its original volume. Of course, polystyrene compactors are not only for recycling polystyrene food packaging but can also handle packaging made of EPS, XPS, EPP, and other materials.

With polystyrene compactors we no longer have to pay high landfill costs. Some people will question the value of purchasing machines, and polystyrene recycling also requires labor costs. For this reason, GREENMAX has long thought of a method to help you achieve a closed-loop economy. While solving the landfill problem, GREENMAX repurchases compressed polystyrene to make environmentally friendly photo frames. GREENMAX's waste quotation is very impressive, so it is a good choice to cooperate with GREENMAX for polystyrene recycling! GREENMAX achieves sustainable development of the environment, resources, and economy at the same time.
