If you’ve ever bought a high-end furniture online, you’ll notice that the inside layer of the box is usually covered in a soft foam wrapper. Don’t throw it away, this material is polyethylene, which also called PE foam, it is a good recyclable material.
At present, PE foam is widely used in the packaging of high-end furniture, electronic products medicinal products and other valuable and fragile crafts. Combining with other high-end decorative fabrics and flannel, PE foam has a luxurious style without losing its good impact protection effect. The most important is that the used PE foam waste can be recycled to produce new packaging materials, which helps save natural resources and protect the environment.
Like other plastic materials, PE foam also takes a long time to decompose. To prevent more PE foam from entering landfills, some enterprises have started to find more effective ways to recycle it. Having been committed to foam recycling industry for over decades, GREENMAX has specially designed ZEUS series compactor to recycle PE foam waste more efficiently. The surface melting technology can prevent the compressed PE foam blocks from being scattered again and the compressed foam volume is 50% less than the original one.
Through further research and development by the GREENMAX team, the melting machine can process polyethylene products more efficiently. The PE foam densifier can be used in different ways. The upper layer can be used to process PE sheet and scraps by crushing and melting, and the lower layer is specially equipped to process PE foam rolls. The compression ratio of the densifying machine reaches 90:1, which is high efficient to transport.
The greatest value of PE foam recycling is that it is a valuable resource to be recycled for new products making. In today’s increasingly scarce resources, recycling is more important.
