Whirlpool, a leading manufacturer of large household appliances, operates several factories in Italy, including one in Varese in the north. This particular factory predominantly produces kitchen electrical appliances, resulting in substantial monthly EPS packaging waste.
The disposal of this waste posed a significant logistical and financial challenge for Whirlpool. Recyclers had to transport the EPS waste daily by lorry to a disposal yard located 100 kilometers away, incurring high freight expenses.
In October, Whirlpool's recyclers discovered GREENMAX, a specialist in EPS recycling, and shared their transportation difficulties. GREENMAX proposed an effective solution: the installation of their compactor, the GREENMAX EPS foam compactor A-C200, at the Whirlpool factory in Varese.
With the GREENMAX EPS foam compactor, Whirlpool could compress bulky EPS waste into small blocks on-site. The recyclers would then collect these compressed blocks monthly, dramatically reducing the frequency and cost of transportation. Whirlpool was pleased with this solution, as it not only saved on freight expenses but also minimized storage space and security risks associated with accumulated waste.
The GREENMAX EPS compactor has been operational at the Varese factory for three months now. GREENMAX provided comprehensive support, including on-site instruction and training for effective operation and maintenance.
GREENMAX is dedicated to providing superior EPS recycling services to the white goods industry. If your company is seeking an efficient solution for EPS waste disposal, consider partnering with GREENMAX for effective and sustainable recycling solutions.
