The present invention relates to a method of regenerating waste styrofoam, which can prevent the occurrence of waste, minimize the manpower, cost and time required for incineration, and obtain the effect of resource saving by recycling the resources.

가전제품이나 각종 전자제품을 생산하여 판매시 제품을 보호하기 위하여 사용되어지는 스치로폼은 구매자가 제품을 구입한 후 대부분 버려지고 있다.Styrofoam, which is used to produce home appliances or various electronic products and protect them during the sale, is mostly discarded after the purchaser purchases the product.

따라서 폐 스치로폼에 의한 환경오염이 날로 심각해지면서 이를 해결하기 위하여 폐 스치로폼을 별도의 집하창고에 수거하여 소각공장에서 소각시키는 방법이 사용되어지고 있다.Therefore, environmental pollution caused by waste styrofoam is becoming more serious and in order to solve this problem, a method of collecting waste styrofoam in a separate warehouse for incineration at an incineration plant has been used.

그러나 상기와 같이 폐 스치로폼을 수거하였다가 소각시키는 방법은 소각전 불순물을 제거하고 세척해야 하는 번거로움이 있고, 스치로폼을 소각공장으로 운반시 부산물 등이 떨어질 우려가 있으며, 소각작업에 많은 인려과 비용 및 시간이 소요되고, 별도의 집하창고가 필요함은 물론 소각시 발암물질과 같은 환경오염물질의 발생으로 환경을 오염시키게 되는 문제점이 있었다.However, the method of collecting and incineration of waste Styrofoam as described above has the trouble of removing and cleaning impurities before incineration, and there is a fear that by-products will fall when transporting Styrofoam to an incineration plant. And it takes time, there is a need for a separate warehouse, as well as the problem of polluting the environment by the generation of environmental pollutants such as carcinogens when incinerated.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 폐 스치로폼을 소각하지 않고 융해용제를 사용해 간단히 용해시켜 파레트로 재생시키므로서, 폐 스치로폼의 재활용에 따른 자원절약의 효과를 얻을 수 있슴은 물론, 별도의 집하창고와 불순물 제거작업, 세척작업이 필요없어 폐 스치로폼의 처리에 따른 인력과 비용 및 시간을 최소화 하고, 환경오염을 방지할 수 있는 폐 스치로폼의 재생방법을 제공함에 본 발명의 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, by simply dissolving the waste styrofoam using a melting solvent to regenerate the pallet, it is of course possible to obtain the effect of resource saving according to the recycling of waste styrofoam The object of the present invention is to provide a recycling method of waste styrofoam, which minimizes manpower, cost and time due to the disposal of waste styrofoam, and does not require a separate warehouse, removing impurities, and washing. have.

이하, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 설명한다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.
