Sustainable Development Goal (hereinafter referred to as SDG) No. 12 refers to "responsible production and consumption", which conveys the need for individuals and companies to increase social awareness to make better use of natural resources and implement specific measures to manage the waste generated . In fact, SDG 12 emphasizes the need to “significantly reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recovery and reuse activities” and to “achieve environmentally sound management of chemical products and all wastes throughout their life cycles”.

Currently, only 40 percent of the 500 kilograms of waste generated by each European is recycled when it comes to municipal waste recycling. European legislation requires that at least half of municipal waste be reused or recycled this year, 2020; this figure should reach 55% by 2025; 60% by 2030; and 65% by 2035.

Regarding the recycling of plastic materials, the interest of different players has increased in recent years, so that not only plastic products are increasingly recyclable, but also the materials used to produce plastic containers are recycled. Today, Europe generates 25 million tons of plastic waste every year, but less than 30% of it is collected for recycling. Also, if we look globally, 85% of the litter found on beaches comes from plastic. The goal of this European project is to implement a circular economy and promote the application of the 3R rules throughout the European recycling system.

Given this situation and increasingly stringent regulations, what is the plastics industry doing to develop packaging? Eco-design is one of the future trends. Through the research and development of new materials, we try to reduce the impact of plastic containers on the environment without losing the quality and charm of the products, which is conducive to protecting the characteristics of packaging products and the interests of consumers.

As various reports have indicated, companies that apply this "eco" philosophy to their plastic container designs are gaining traction with consumers due to growing interest in health and growing awareness of the need to stem climate change. More recognition.

One of the most commonly used materials for the production of plastic containers today is polyethylene (also known as PE) because of its enormous advantages in terms of application and properties. As far as recycling is concerned, while it is often thought of as having a purpose, polyethylene can be recycled more than once if best practices are taken, increasing the sustainability of the resource in the long run.

GREENMAX is committed to the sustainable transformation of companies, helping companies around the world to develop environmentally responsible recycling solutions that maintain the levels of quality and safety required by regulations. The Polyethylene compactor under this brand is used to recycle polyethylene waste and substandard products. The machine first crushes the polyethylene, then extrudes them through the screw, and scalds the surface to form a high-density polyethylene blocks that will not loosen. Subsequent blocks of this kind can be used for granulation, and these particles can be mixed with new materials and reused to make polyethylene products, which can be returned to the market for sale. Polyethylene compactor screw adopts special design, large extrusion capacity, stable operation, saving electricity and labor.

GREENMAX polyethylene compactor is easy to operate and requires low investment. Contact us if you need advice to take a sustainable leap forward in your business.
