Hutchison/MRC Research Centre
All I can tell you are the cost implications for
ourselves. Our 3 Research buildings were spending over £10k
a year on skips sending polystyrene (styrofoam) to land fill
(which is now strictly illegal).
We now have a Styromelt machine and process
the polystyrene which will be collected free for recycling.
This is the only machine I have managed to find
that will process the ‘mixed bag’ of polystyrene
waste we have in our operations. I have tried other technologies
without
success
whereas the Styromelt is simple and effective. Brian Richardson
(Research Centre Manager)
Styropak of Aberdare
Styropak is a leading manufacturer of polystyrene (styrofoam)
and has been using a Styromelt machine for several years to thermally
compact polystyrene dust.
Plant Manager Wayne Davies explained that 'Previously Styropak bagged this waste and it was send to landfill. Unfortunately the bags were prone to burst and this caused extensive litter pollution and the landfill sites were considering refusing to accept the material.'
The Styromelt machine completely eliminated this problem in a sound and ecological manner.
Snowdens of Cardiff
Snowdens are long established fish merchants who generate waste
polystyrene (styrofoam) fish boxes during their filleting and
repackaging activities.
A Styromelt machine was installed and reduced the volume of material being sent to landfill from 7 skips to only one a week!
Litepac of Longford Eire
Litepac, who is part of the Quinn Industries Group installed
a Styromelt machine in 2004 to deal with waste polystyrene (styrofoam)
generated during manufacturing.
Previously this waste was transported in “Octabins” to landfill and one lorry load a week was generated.
Installation of the Styromelt System reduced this traffic from fifty two lorries a year to only one! This achieved both an environmental improvement to existing practices but also a rapid payback.
LG Electronics (UK) Ltd
LG was transporting 180 “roll on roll off” (Rollo
- 30ft container skips) of polystyrene (styrofoam) and polypropylene
waste to landfill a month.
Installation of a bespoke Styromelt machine reduced this volume to only 20 skips a month relating to a payback for the machine of only 4 months!
La Villette of Paris
La Villette is a leading fish merchant and was spending 2000
Euros a month to dispose of Euro bins containing polystyrene
(styrofoam) fishboxes.
Installation of a Styromelt machine reduced this cost by two thirds and reduced the inconvenience of daily collection to a collection of only once a month!
In all of the above instances, the Styromelt system produced a dust free densified briquette suitable for recycling.
