Styrofoam boxes are often used as nursery trays. These trays have multiple holes, each of which can hold a seed. The foam material provides a lightweight and insulating environment that facilitates seed germination and seedling growth, while styrofoam has good water retention properties that can help retain moisture in the soil and reduce watering frequency. The thermal insulation properties of foam help maintain a stable temperature and provide a suitable growing environment for seeds.
Because styrofoam is very light, it can be used in places with limited load-bearing capacity, such as rooftops or balconies, to develop urban agriculture. The thermal insulation of the foam boxes protects plant roots from extreme temperatures, which is particularly important in urban environments.
So do these styrofoam boxes that aid breeding need to be recycled? The answer is yes. These styrofoam seeding trays are no different from other types of styrofoam. They all need to be recycled, otherwise they will produce serious white pollution.
Currently, some of GREENMAX’s customers in the United States are engaged in this industry. They came to GREENMAX for help, hoping to have a high-quality recycling equipment to help with recycling.
Last year, GREENMAX staff visited a customer in the United States who was using styrofoam densifier to recycle waste. This customer produced a high amount of waste every month. He used styrofoam densifier for outdoor use, not far from the outdoor planting area, so that he could To ensure timely recycling, this equipment is also equipped with a conveyor belt. On the one hand, the size of the seeding tray is large, and it requires certain human resources to directly put it into the feeding bin. On the other hand, the conveyor belt can be used to achieve uniform feeding.
