Sustainable, we’ve all heard the word many times, but do you know how EPS is sustainable? Reduce, reuse, and recycle will achieve EPS sustainable development. Reducing the frequency of what we buy and reusing and repairing what we have is something most people can do. But everything comes to the end of its useful life, and that’s where recycling comes in. EPS recycling machines will make recycling easy.
1. Reduce
Most items purchased online are packaged in EPS because EPS allows the item to be protected from bumps and damage. To minimize the use of EPS, instead of buying items one by one, buy several items at once. This way, you can minimize the amount of EPS used. You can also try not buying items packaged in EPS. You can buy them on second-hand platforms, borrow items from rental platforms or use shared items to save money and take a little pressure off the environment.
2. Recycling
There are several general ways to recycle.
1. community recycling programs
2. Store returns
3. Professional recycling programs
Of course, you can also do your own EPS recycling. GREENMAX offers professional EPS recycling machine. As one of the first recycling machine to handle EPS in China, EPS densifier of INTCO Environmental first crushes the EPS and then extrudes the EPS through the conveying extrusion of the screw to make the EPS hot melt inside the screw and extrude it through the discharge port to form. Same as cold pressing, it also reduces the volume and facilitates granulation.
3. Reuse.
