New machine recycles styrofoam into usable product

The Runi is a new machine built in Denmark that is specifically designed to recycle polystyrene (styrofoam) into a usable product. The Runi removes the air to condense it at a 50 to 1 ratio, and at 19 pounds per cubic foot, the compacted material is easily handled on pallets at the weight of 300-400 kg/m3. The recycled, condensed styrofoam can then be sold to buyers such as Timbron, a Northern California manufacturing company who is currently using it to make crown moulding for home construction.
