PROUD TO BE A US-BASED SUPPLIER OF FOAM EQUIPMENT

What is polystyrene?

Expandable polystyrene consists of air trapped in a thin layer of polystyrene plastic forming the beads that are bonded to make EPS foam parts. While EPS foam products are great for insulation of buildings and protection of goods, the foam shapes can be bulky and fill waste containers quickly. EPS or Expandable polystyrene is a recyclable plastic. The cold compression foam densifier system efficiently converts EPS waste into high-density logs, reducing or eliminating the costs associated with landfilling of the material. EPS is highly valued as a recyclable plastic, in compressed form, the material can be moved efficiently for recycling.

Styrofoam™ or extruded polystyrene (XPS) is another form of polystyrene foam. This material is mainly used for insulation applications as well as some food service products. Volume reduction using an efficient foam densifying machine will reduce associated waste expense while also providing potential recycling options.

Many forms of polyurethane foam exist on the market for a variety of purposes such as thermal insulation, packaging, and sound insulation. While some PUR materials can be re-used in certain markets, much of the waste PUR product reaches landfills. In this case maximizing the waste container weight with a quality foam compactor may be the best option to reduce waste costs.
