Polystyrene compactor is a good assistance to recycle polystyrene takeout packaging

Disposable polystyrene food containers have become so commonplace. As polystyrene foam is lightweight and makes it so easy to be used in food packaging industry.

But they are no friend to the environment, marine life. Using nonrenewable resources, to posing a threat to the planet and wildlife, polystyrene food containers are more of a nuisance than a help. For these reasons laws regulating polystyrene foam packaging through bans, are on the rise.

Polystyrene foam containers are primarily a problem after they have fulfilled their intended purpose. Polystyrene does not belong in landfills, because it does not safely break down and stays in our environment. When foam is discarded as litter in landfills, we still have the same issue of it not safely breaking down, but it can also present a danger to animals who may become tangled in or ingest the foam.

However, polystyrene recycling rates continue to lag. Not all recycling facilities accept polystyrene foam, but there is an effective method of polystyrene recycling with polystyrene compactor.

The polystyrene compactor can be provided by GREENMAX from INTCO recycling, the machine can turn the waste foam into dense blocks after smashing and compacting. And then those compacted blocks can also be sold or made into other recyclable things, like picture framing.

Although disposable polystyrene food packaging is bad for the environment, it can be well recycled and reused with the help of GREENMAX recycling.
