Whirlpool, a globally recognized manufacturer of large household appliances, has implemented an innovative solution to address its EPS packaging waste challenges in its factories in Italy, particularly in Varese where kitchen appliances are produced. Traditionally, the factory produced significant amounts of EPS waste, which recyclers had to transport daily to a facility 100 kilometers away, incurring high transportation costs.

Recently Whirlpool partnered with GREENMAX, specialists in EPS recycling. GREENMAX provided a solution tailored to Whirlpool's needs by installing their foam compactor A-C200 at the Varese factory. This GREENMAX EPS foam recycling machine compresses bulky EPS waste into compact blocks, which drastically reduced the frequency of waste collection from daily to just once a month, significantly saving transportation costs.

This change not only saved on freight but also optimized the recycling process. The compacted EPS waste could now be efficiently stored and handled, freeing up valuable factory space and reducing safety hazards associated with waste accumulation.

Since its installation, the GREENMAX foam compactor A-C200 has been operating successfully for three months, with GREENMAX providing initial on-site support through specialized engineers who trained Whirlpool's staff on machine operation and maintenance.

GREENMAX continues to offer high-quality recycling services to the appliance industry, demonstrating that effective solutions for waste management can lead to substantial operational improvements and cost savings. If your business is seeking efficient EPS waste management, partnering with GREENMAX might be a strategic move.
