Case studies

Styropak is a leading manufacturer of polystyrene and has been using a TP1000 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 TP1000 machine completely eliminated this problem in a sound and ecological manner.

 

Snowdens of Cardiff

Snowdens are long established fish merchants who generate waste polystyrene fish boxes during their filleting and repackaging activities.

A TP1000 machine was installed and reduced the volume of material being sent to landfill from 7 dumpsters to only one a week!

 

Litepac of Longford Eire

Litepac, who is part of the Quinn Industries Group installed a TP1000 machine in 2004 to deal with waste polystyrene generated during manufacturing.

 

Previously this waste was transported in “Octabins” to landfill and one lorry load a week was generated.

 

Installation of the TP1000 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 dumpsters) of polystyrene and polypropylene waste to landfill a month.

 

Installation of a bespoke TP1000 machine reduced this volume to only 20 dumpsters 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 fishboxes.

 

Installation of a TP1000 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 TP1000 system produced a dust free densified briquette suitable for recycling.
