How to Recycle Styrofoam? INTCO recycling can Help you.

How do we recycle Styrofoam? First, some background information:
Technically, Styrofoam is the trademarked insulation foam
produced by the Dow Chemical Company, but the word “styrofoam”
commonly refers to expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam.
EPS is rigid foam often found in packaging and take-away
containers. Environmentally, Styrofoam is one of the most
frustrating materials we encounter. It takes more than 1 million
years for a Styrofoam food container to decompose and it is
often not cost effective to recycle. So, environmentally, the
best course of action is to avoid buying products with Styrofoam
packaging and to avoid purchasing items online that must be
packaged and shipped to you. There are some potential
replacements for Styrofoam in the works, but they are still a
little ways off.
But for now, accumulating some Styrofoam is almost inevitable.
So what will we do with it when you recycle Styrofoam with us?
Well, INTCO recycling has different machines to deal with the
waste EPS, and compactor is one of the machine. GREENMAX APOLO
Series machines are this kind of compactors, which can smash the
waste EPS packaging materials into pieces by the blades and
gears, and then it could be easily compressed into tight block
with the ratio of 50:1. After compaction, EPS packaging
materials can be reused to do other products, such as frame
products and construction moldings.
So, Styrofoam recycling

space and storage room, and can also be able to avoid more waste
EPS materials being put into landfills or being burned, which
can reduce the “white pollution”.
