Description

The compaction of waste and recyclable materials is an effective method to reduce the number of transports. A material that is not often compacted is the styrofoam (EPS). The compaction can generate great financial and environmental benefits by reducing the volume of transports to up to 50 times. The main reasons that discourage compactor users are the very high price and the complexity of use. The project is to develop an EPS compactor, which is easier to use and more reliable than existing models on the market.
