Good news! MIDDLETOWN township officials has proposed a new solution for Styrofoam-recycle it! It means that Styrofoam is no longer one of the single-use plastic products prohibited by state legislation.
As the application of Styrofoam materials increases, this material must be recycled reasonably and efficiently. According to investigations, the town has been collecting Styrofoam waste since December last year, and has purchased a professional Styrofoam densifier to process the loose foam waste that has accumulated. According to reports, the equipment can reduce the volume of foam for 90 times, making Styrofoam recycling no longer a difficulty.
“The free market has found a solution to the problem, and we ignore it. We ignored the such a good solution both to environment and economic. It’s really a shame.” Mayor Tony Perry told Asbury Park News in a telephone interview on Friday.
Yes, Styrofoam is recyclable, but many businesses and local governments ignore this fact. The main reason is that most recyclers think that Styrofoam is too lightweight and the transportation cost is high, which leads to high cost of recycling and makes the recycling of Styrofoam waste worthless. So many recycling centers are unwilling to accept this kind of material. It is really a pity!
In fact, Styrofoam recycling is not a simple collection and sorting process, it involves a lot of technical investment. The entire recycling process of Styrofoam is usually collection, compression, granulation, and application. First of all, you need to have a source of waste, that is to ensure that you can collect enough Styrofoam waste for recycling. Then the investment in Styrofoam recycling equipment is very important. GRENMAX Styrofoam densifier can help you reduce the volume of foam waste by 90 times, thereby reducing storage and transportation costs. You can sell compressed foam materials directly, or invest in subsequent pelletizing equipment and production equipment. As we know, the recycled Styrofoam is a good raw material for the production of finished products such as photo frames and hangers.
The local government can realize the importance of Styrofoam recycling, and even participating in the recycling project is a good job. We look forward to hearing more good news!
