GREENMAX Recycling

GREENMAX Recycling, a registered trade name of INTCO, operates as a foam recycling specialist focused on providing total solutions for EPS/EPE/EPP foam recycling. The company manufactures and sells GREENMAX foam compactors and densifiers, as well as foam recycling machines, and purchases compressed foam blocks to repurpose them into frame products. Based in Shanghai, China, GREENMAX Recycling is part of INTCO’s broader recycling ecosystem and has established a significant footprint in the foam recycling industry.

Historical performance indicates scale: in 2012, INTCO reported recycling 50,000 tons of waste EPS, an achievement that contributed to saving approximately 4,000,000 trees and reducing carbon emissions by about 100,000 tons. Over the years, GREENMAX Recycling has grown to become one of the world’s largest end-users and recyclers of waste EPS, illustrating the company’s capacity to handle large volumes of recycled EPS material and to integrate recycling processes with downstream applications.

The product lineup centers on GREENMAX machines designed for compacting and densifying foam materials, along with associated processes for dewatering and liquid extraction. The company emphasizes a modular approach, offering machine series such as Apollo, Mars, and Zeus to accommodate various foam recycling needs, including EPS, XPS, EPP, PSP, and other foam types. These machines enable customers to recycle foam blocks, turning waste into usable products such as frames, thereby supporting circular economy objectives.

INTCO Recycling presents itself as a foam recycling total-solution provider, combining equipment manufacturing with end-user recycling operations. The company highlights annual recycling volumes and emissions reductions as indicators of impact, with claims that the organization recycles substantial quantities of waste EPS each year, contributing to a notable reduction in carbon emissions. The company also maintains an active presence in international markets, with GREENMAX products being distributed to more than 50 countries and regions, underscoring a broad global reach for its recycling technology and systems.

As a Shanghai-based enterprise, GREENMAX Recycling aligns with INTCO’s broader mission to advance sustainable packaging and waste management through mechanical recycling solutions. While specific service offerings beyond equipment sales and material buy-back are emphasized, the company’s core value proposition remains the deployment of comprehensive foam recycling machinery and processes that support the transformation of polystyrene and related foams from waste into reusable products.
