Today, the pollution caused by foam is no longer restricted to land. It has actually spread into the ocean, detrimentally impacting the aesthetics of the environment and posture a serious threat to the marine ecosystem. A recent study led by Stanford University marine biologists exposes a severe issue. Whales swimming along the California coastline consume numerous items of numerous foam everyday. According to surveys, fifty percent of the foam waste in the world has gathered in the last two decades. Disturbingly, only 9% of foam sold in the USA is recycled yearly, resulting in as long as 13 million lots of foam waste ending up in the ocean. This is equivalent to dumping one garbage truck into the sea every min.

The harm caused by disposing numerous foam waste into the oceans exceeds the whales highlighted in the research. Researchers have actually even discovered foam pieces in krill and other bacteria. Whales are at the top of the marine food chain and count on various other marine life as a source of food. The damages caused by this foam waste will in turn influence humans at the top of the food chain.

As technology breakthroughs, the non-biodegradability of foam waste is no longer an excuse to avoid of recycling responsibilities. Presently, policies for foam recycling have actually been established all over the world, including Asia, Europe and many nations. These laws often tend to recommend industry on their responsibility to recycle foam, making them a vital driver in the industry's search for foam recycling solutions.

Solution

In the lack of specialized foam recycling equipment, packaging foam recycling comes to be very challenging. The substantial size is a significant challenge in the recycling procedure. Here, we advocate for GREENMAX foam compactor as a sustainable solution to resolve foam pollution.

GREENMAX Foam Compactor uses cold pressing/hot melting technology, serving as a versatile recycling machine efficient in processing numerous foams, including EPS, XPS, EPE, and EPP. With the compression process of the foam compactor, discarded packaging foam waste can be efficiently reused. This removes the demand to burn, hide or dump right into the ocean. This eliminates the need to burn, bury or dump into the ocean. This reduces the potential for torture and contamination of marine life and ecosystems.

GREENMAX foam compactor is particularly designed for medium-sized waste recycling facilities. Reduce 50% of waste space by processing EPS, EPP, and EPE materials.
