YE I said that its water-cooled plastic waste recycling machine adopts a three-in-one design, which “combines a crusher, extruder and pelletizer into one, simplifies the process, and also saves labor and space.”

The company said that its mechanical production line can help produce a variety of recycled resins, including polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate ( PC), polylactic acid (PLA), expanded polystyrene (EPS), expanded polypropylene (EPP), expanded polyethylene (EPE), nylon plastic (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and other resins have been processed through this equipment line.

"With more than 60 years of experience in this field, YE I has been able to develop low-energy-consumption machines and enhance them with customized adjustments," the company said.

YE I said that one of its customers in Japan produced more plastic waste as it grew, "so they urgently need to add two more recycling machine production lines to solve this problem." Yewo modified the existing screw of the machine. Designed to increase production and "enhance the safety design according to the customer's usage habits, and improve the database programming [so] the machine will automatically calculate the maintenance cycle of the motor and issue a reminder."

The Taiwanese company stated that its plastic recycling machines can be customized to meet the preferences of global customers. More information about the product line is available on this page. 

This food service packaging company is certified for its plant-based packaging that does not use PFAS.

Eco-Products, a food service packaging company based in Boulder, Colorado, has received the GreenScreen Certified Silver Medal for its line of compostable plates and containers made from sugar cane. GreenScreen Certified is an independent non-profit certification standard that aims to promote products that do not use perfluorinated and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) but use preferred chemicals in their products and manufacturing.

"We are very excited that our Vanguard compostable product line is GreenScreen Silver certified," said Ian Jacobson, President of Eco-Products. "Finding alternative formulations to replace PFAS is our top priority. We also want to ensure that our products do not contain other highly concerned chemicals or known regrettable substitutes."

According to a press release from Eco-Products, GreenScreen Certified evaluated every chemical used in the Vanguard formulation before it was approved.

Eco-Products stated that it is the first manufacturer to receive the designation of the GreenScreen food service product line. The certification is developed by the Cleaner Production Initiative (CPA) and the Center for Environmental Health (CEH).

"CEH and CPA are very happy to launch GreenScreen Certified," said Sue Chiang, CEH Food Program Director. "This new safety standard will enable consumers to make healthier decisions for themselves and their families."

All Vanguard products are plant-based and certified by the Building Performance Institute. They are compostable, microwave friendly, cut resistant, and effective in hot and cold applications. The initial product line includes a variety of plates, bowls and clam shells, and more products will be added soon. The new formula of Eco-Products is applying for a patent.
