The thriving Polyfoam company can partner with GREENMAX for a win-win situation

Polyfoam is a family business and began in a rented tin shed at Castle Forbes Bay in the state's South in 1985, entirely to support the newly-created aquaculture industry by manufacturing polystyrene fish boxes. Without the fish farming sector, the business may never have been born, but it has grown to support not only aquaculture but agriculture, construction, wine, and of great importance recently, the need for cold chain transport of medical supplies such as COVID-19 vaccines.

 

Polystyrene is the only certified shipping container in the food cold chain and pharmaceutical cold chain process, so Polyfoam's business has expanded to five states in Australia. It has developed at Bridgewater in Tasmania as well as in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. There is also a joint operation in Adelaide. Among them, Huon Aquaculture and Tasmanian Seafoods are both stable customers of Polyfoam. While using polystyrene, polystyrene recycling should also attract our attention. Although polystyrene is 100% recyclable, most of the polystyrene waste in Australia is still landfilled with other wastes. In recent years, Polyfoam has also noticed this problem and started to help with polystyrene recycling to complete the circular economy.

 

The polystyrene compactor is a recycling machine that is often used in the polystyrene recycling process in recent years. During the entire polystyrene recycling process, multiple processes are required to recover polystyrene waste from various locations. This link alone requires multiple transportations. The transportation cost has become a headache, because polystyrene is huge and full of air, and only a few pieces are filled in the truck compartment, which is a waste of space and money.

GREENMAX polystyrene compactor has a compression ratio of 50:1, which can squeeze out the air in the waste and solves this problem very well. In addition, we all know that there is inevitably blood in the polystyrene fish box. In hot summer, it is easy to breed bacteria and produce a smell, which is very unsanitary. The polystyrene compactor can compress these fish boxes at any time to keep the warehouse clean and tidy. 
Considering the particularity of the fish box, GREENMAX combines the cleaning system with the polystyrene compactor into a recycling system, which effectively solves the problem of dirty polystyrene fish boxes. At the same time, GREENMAX's solution is very flexible, and various polystyrene recycling machines can be customized according to customer needs. 

Due to the continuous expansion of Polyfoam's business, the conception of this company is the same as GREENMAX's. If the two parties can cooperate, then a complete closed-loop from polystyrene production to polystyrene recycling will be fully realized. GREENMAX uses recycled polystyrene to manufacture environmentally-friendly frames: mirror frames, picture frames, photo frames, baseboards, etc. If the two parties carry out long-term cooperation, Polyfoam will also establish a good brand image and be recognized by more people.
