Researchers say it takes 500 years for EPE foam to decompose. That means the shipping packaging and EPE boxes after using can take up a lot of landfill space.  Nancy Abrams, who drives across Greensboro once a week volunteers to pick up EPE foam from medical offices and florist. EPE foam, big and small, is unloaded and stored inside of the Tiny House Community Development warehouse. When you add up the EPE foam from other volunteers, the foam nearly touches the ceiling.

EPE foam, bulky in volume and light in weight, is widely applied in every corner of life. While individual households may not be able to easily recycle EPE foam waste, the recycling center that can collect a lot of EPE foam have more excellent options, such as a EPE foam compactor, rather than transport it to landfills.

EPE foam compactor is a kind of machine designed by using densification technology in practical application. Compared with dumping EPE foam into landfill, its advantages are quite obvious, which can be roughly listed in the following three aspects:

First and foremost, Cost is an unavoidable problem. What landfill needs is not only the management cost of the dump, but also the transportation cost of EPE foam on the way. EPE foam compactor, which is applying compacting technology, can not only save these costs, but also make extra profit by selling the compacted EPE foam.

Apart from this, EPE foam has a lot of links in the process from transportation to landfill, which is actually a complicated process, involving a lot of different personnel and operations. But the technology of EPE foam densifier processing EPE foam is very simple, only a few steps of feeding, crushing, compacting can be automatically recycled by the machine.

Last but not least, From the perspective of environmental protection, landfill is not worth advocating. It is above-mentioned that EPE foam is a material that cannot be degraded for hundreds of years and will cause pollution to the land. EPE foam compactor can achieve a win-win situation for the treatment of EPE foam and environmental protection. It not only compresses EPE foam into 1/50 of the original, but also forms a kind of blocks that can make plastic particles.

EPE foam is not rubbish but a misplaced resource. There is no doubt that the technology of EPS foam compactor can take EPE foam out of landfills and turn it into something useful. With the power of all people with environmental awareness, EPE foam recycling will have a bright future.
