The Australian Packaging Covenant reports that only 29.7% of polystyrene used in packaging is recycled. This polystyrene recycling rate is not ideal. The process of dealing with polystyrene waste is nothing more than two major parts: polystyrene recycling and polystyrene reusing. The reason for the low polystyrene recycling rate in Australia is mainly because the polystyrene recycling process is not perfect. Polystyrene recycling mainly requires the cooperation of related industries and recyclers. The incomplete recycling process often makes related industries and recyclers feel that it is exhausting and unprofitable. In addition, the awareness of environmental protection is weak, so no one is willing to do this drudgery.

Due to the lightweight of polystyrene, transportation costs are a major component of its recycling. The material transportation cost of polystyrene waste is usually borne by the relevant industry. The most common polystyrene waste is always bagged and shipped in bulk. In recent years, in response to the government's call, some companies that use a large number of polystyrene packaging actively cooperate with recyclers, however, they often break up because they cannot reach an agreement when discussing the freight. Finally, they have no choice but to choose landfill and incineration to dispose of the polystyrene waste.

The polystyrene compactor from Intco Recycling GREENMAX can solve this problem very well. The main principle of the polystyrene compactor is to reduce the volume of the huge polystyrene. 98% of polystyrene is air. With a polystyrene compactor, polystyrene waste first passes through the crushing bin of the polystyrene compactor and is cut into pieces by a sharp crushing knife and then compressed by a screw. When the air is squeezed out, the volume of the polystyrene waste is reduced to one-fifth of the original volume, which greatly reduces transportation costs.

The value of GREENMAX is more than just providing polystyrene compactors. We also recycle compressed polystyrene for the convenience of our customers. More importantly, we make polystyrene recycling profitable. For example: Mainfreight, a logistics company in New Zealand, purchased an Apolo series A-C100 polystyrene compactor in 2020 and was very satisfied with the effect of the machine. The person in charge said that polystyrene recycling can not only save 50,000 New Zealand dollars in waste disposal fees every year, but also bring in nearly 2W of New Zealand dollars in income every year.

GREENMAX has been committed to polystyrene recycling for more than a decade. Helping the natural environment free from white pollution gives polystyrene waste a new mission. We reuse these wastes to make environmentally-friendly frame bars. If you choose GREENMAX, it will greatly improve your brand image. We believe that your contribution to environmental protection will also be noticed by the public and the government.
