Prime Wheel's Eco-Friendly Solution for Polyethylene Waste

Established in 1989, Prime Wheel stands as the leading manufacturer of automotive wheel hubs across North America, boasting three factories strategically located in the United States and Mexico.Over the years, Prime Wheel has supplied top automotive companies like Tesla, GM, Chrysler, and Ford, positioning itself as a reliable supplier in the industry.

In the production and transportation of wheel hubs, the use of Polyethylene is indispensable for protecting the wheels from damage. However, disposing of Polyethylene sheets and rolls post-use poses significant challenges, requiring labor-intensive sorting even for landfill disposal.

Seeking more efficient and sustainable solutions, Prime Wheel explored various avenues for Polyethylene recycling without success until 2016 when they discovered GREENMAX, a specialist in foam recycling.

Within months, GREENMAX engineering team developed the foam densifier M-C200 to Prime Wheel's specifications. This machine efficiently compresses Polyethylene sheets without altering their properties. Later, Prime Wheel successfully installed the GREENMAX foam densifier M-C200. Praised for its ease of operation, labor-saving features, and high efficiency, the machine has since operated for hundreds of hours, compressing over 200,000 pounds of waste Polyethylene.

This breakthrough has streamlined Prime Wheel's Polyethylene recycling process, significantly reducing storage requirements and transportation costs. GREENMAX's ability to provide customized recycling solutions underscores their commitment to addressing unique challenges in foam recycling.

With each customer presenting unique cases, GREENMAX remains ready to customize recycling machines to meet specific needs. Their dedication to assisting with any recycling difficulties ensures a reliable partner for sustainable waste management solutions.
