With the recent increase in the secondary use of plastics, various recycling activities are in full swing. The Barcelona City Council is one of the representatives. Last December, the city council installed a new pavement in Passeig de la Verneda in which plastic debris has reached the end of its useful life but is still functioning in the pavement with a much lower carbon footprint than a normal pavement.

The fact that some plastics are recyclable and reusable must continue to be popularised and emphasised. From food packaging to information packaging, polystyrene (a type of foam) is essential in everyday life. It should be noted that these EPS plastics make up a large proportion of all plastics and are, in theory, 100% recyclable once the air is removed. In a climate of growing polystyrene recycling, expanded polystyrene specialist GREENMAX has also made a breakthrough this year, working with more countries and regions to address the concerns of many customers about polystyrene recycling with its foam compactors. The company has earned a growing reputation worldwide. However, many people still believe that GREENMAX polystyrene foam compactors are only useful for volume reduction and densification of such materials. In fact, the impact of these recycling machines on enterprises is much greater.

The GREENMAX foam compactors are no longer limited to technical aspects. eps is processed by the machine and fed into the pelletizing system as a secondary raw material. Customers can choose to produce their own plastic pellets or sell them to other recyclers such as GREENMAX for revenue.

GREENMAX is an excellent partner in the field of EPS recycling. Not only can we supply recycling equipment, such as EPS compressors, but we can also build a deeper relationship with our customers than just buying machines. We can solve EPS recycling problems for our customers from start to finish, leaving them with no worries.

CTC is a Spanish waste management company that recycles waste more safely and a high percentage of polystyrene foam is one of the components recycled. After extensive market research and extensive comparisons, the company chose to work with GREENMAX. The company learned about the advanced recycling methods of the Polystyrene compactor and the fact that Polystyrene waste can be recycled into other products that can be returned to people. CTC is very pleased with the GREENMAX machine and is excited to enter a new industry and benefit from the polystyrene foam recycling sector.

GREENMAX's polystyrene recycling system gives new life to polystyrene waste, in line with the importance of sustainability and allows for a circular economy for the different companies that use expanded polystyrene.
