Every day, enormous amounts of EPS foam—better known as Styrofoam used in packaging, insulation, and food trays—are consumed around the world. But once it becomes waste, this lightweight material creates oversized problems. It takes up huge amounts of space and is notoriously difficult to handle.
The Challenge of Foam Waste
EPS foam may be light, but its volume makes it costly to store, transport, and dispose of. Traditional waste handling systems struggle with it, and landfills quickly fill with bulky foam that doesn’t easily break down.
A Purpose-Built Solution: Amstar’s Hot Melting Densifier
Amstar’s hot melting densifier is designed specifically to tackle foam recycling challenges. The system compresses and melts loose EPS waste into compact, high-density blocks, dramatically simplifying storage and transportation while improving overall efficiency.
How the Densifying Process Works
With a powerful compression ratio of up to 1:50, the machine reduces massive piles of foam into manageable volumes. Once melted, the foam cools into solid, clean ingots that are ready for reuse.
These ingots can be recycled into products such as plastic pellets, picture frames, decorative moldings, and other plastic-based items.
Turning Waste Into Valuable Material
This recycling process not only reduces foam waste—it turns an often low-value material into a profitable resource. By re-entering the production chain, recycled EPS helps companies save raw materials and significantly cut carbon emissions.
Closing the Loop With Amstar
Amstar’s hot melting densifier makes foam recycling simple, clean, and profitable. By converting bulky EPS foam into dense, reusable material, businesses can close the loop and move toward more sustainable, resource-efficient operations.
