The high-end technology of EPS compactor makes EPS food containers no longer banned!

In recent years, EPS dinner plates and EPS packaging used in the food industry has been controversial. Canberra region once believed that the tableware of this material should be banned, using biodegradable materials instead of EPS to prevent white contamination; But we can see that the slogan of banning EPS tableware is very loud, but we still see these used tablewares everywhere, so it is not an efficient strategy.

First, we need to make it clear why banning EPS food containers and packaging would fail? There are two main reasons. On the one hand, the price of EPS is low, and almost all restaurant brands can afford it, on the other hand, it is difficult to find a substitute for EPS and achieve mass production. But have to say, EPS in the catering industry is indeed the main source of white pollution.

Ms. Joanne Howarth has worked in the food packaging industry for decades. "I signed up with the largest food delivery service in Australia and very quickly we offer from 400 boxes to 35,000 boxes a week," she said. “While popular with the restaurant industry, EPS is also one of the least recycled wastes – in NSW alone, an estimated 12,000 tonnes are sent to landfill each year, taking up 240,000 cubic meters of waste landfill space.

It seems that we are in a dilemma, but you can think differently ! GREENMAX believes that since there is no way to discard this material, we will simply continue to use it, as long as the EPS recycling machine is used to properly dispose of the waste EPS! That is to say, we must do a good job of EPS recycling! Coincidentally, the government authorities in the United States and Indonesia have also had a similar idea that as long as the recycling of EPS is done well, there is no need to completely ban the use of this material.

GREENMAX has designed an EPS recycling machine for better recycling of EPS food packaging: The EPS compactor. GREENMAX Apolo Series EPS compactor is an EPS recycling machine specialized in compressing waste EPS lunch box, XPS insulation board, EPP, etc. into blocks by rotating screw pressure. Equipped with the screw and automatic hydraulic system, the waste EPS can be pre-crushed in the storage bin of the EPS compactor and then compacted into dense blocks with a volume reduction ratio of 50:1, greatly reducing the volume of waste foam, therefore saving storage and transportation costs.

In addition to EPS compactors, some catering companies on the market use washing systems to wash and dry EPS plates and then compress them. GREENMAX also has this kind of EPS recycling machine. We have a complete cleaning and EPS recycling system. The EPS recycling machine produced by GREENMAX is not only the EPS compactor but also the hot melting machine and the crusher. We are serious about EPS recycling, and we are also willing to do our best to contribute to environmental protection! GREENMAX buys compressed EPS from the whole world for making environmentally friendly photo frames, helping you truly close the recycling loop.
