Shockingly, humans currently have a considerable amount of plastic in their bodies. According to a 2019 scientific study, the average person ingests about 5 grams of microplastics (roughly the amount of plastic in a credit card) per week through food, water, and even the air we breathe.

The reason for this result is that the waste plastic is not disposed of properly. As a commonly used material in life, plastic cannot be suddenly banned or drastically reduced. polystyrene, a typical type of plastic, has brought great convenience to humans because of its large size and low density, but also leaves a deep safety concern. If polystyrene is not disposed of properly. It can cause fires or pollute the environment such as the sea, air and land. It is gratifying to know that when the air is squeezed out of the polystyrene, it is 100% recoverable. This is where the very specialised GREENMAX polystyrene recycling machine can be used.

Polystyrene melting machine as a typical recycling machine is a thermal thickener using hot melt technology. First, the foam is crushed and extruded through the screw so that the foam melts in the screw and is extruded through the discharge port. It‘s advantage is simpler to operate than the compactor. There is no need to consider other factors in the working process, just adjust the temperature. The density of the material is higher after hot fusion and the compression ratio reaches 1:90.

GREENMAX has worked with Electronic Recycling Australia (ERA), an Australian company specializing in electronic waste recycling, which is part of MINDA, the largest non-government disability support organization in South Australia. The ERA purchased the GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine and not only saved the initial high cost of recycling polystyrene, but also saved the cost of recycling polystyrene. polystyrene into a valuable resource.

As you can see from the above, there is an urgent need to dispose of waste polystyrene. This will not only ensure human health and reduce environmental pollution, but will also enable sustainable development to be carried out. Waste polystyrene is processed by polystyrene recycling machines into blocks and ingots and then made into PS particles, which are eventually made into frames, photo frames and skirting to return to the human side. So, let's take action.
