Green Nucleus LLC transforms bulky commercial, industrial, and residential foam packaging (EPS #6, EPE #4, EPP, and XPS) into dense, recyclable ingots—cutting your roll-off dumpster pulls, lowering disposal costs, and closing the circular loop in the Chippewa Valley.
Hauling loose foam 100+ miles to Wausau, Madison, or the Twin Cities is cost-prohibitive and carbon-heavy.
Stackable solid blocks sold directly into circular manufacturing for architectural molding, insulation, and durable goods.
We accept clean, dry expanded and extruded foams across commercial packaging, industrial manufacturing, construction insulation, and residential drop-off streams. Select a material below to inspect acceptance specs:
Please ensure all foam is clean, dry, and free of food residue, heavy tape, cardboard, or metal fasteners. Not sure if your commercial stream qualifies? Send us a sample photo for verification.
Whether you generate multiple 53-ft trailers a month or want to keep bulky appliance foam out of residential carts, Green Nucleus offers practical regional diversion options.
Ideal for regional manufacturers, distribution centers, electronics suppliers, and furniture retailers generating recurring pallet or trailer loads of EPS and EPE packaging.
Built for regional dumpster roll-off operators, commercial roofers, and contractors looking to pull high-volume foam insulation (XPS/EPS) out of standard landfill bins.
Accessible local outlet for small businesses, medical/cold-chain shippers, and Chippewa Valley residents dropping off clean packaging and cooler foam.
Because expanded foam is 98% air, it rapidly fills standard 20- to 40-yard dumpsters—forcing businesses to pay for frequent haul pulls of mostly empty space. Adjust the sliders to estimate how much airspace and hauling budget you can reclaim:
Prior to Green Nucleus, the nearest commercial foam densifiers were over 100 miles away in Wausau, Madison, or the Twin Cities. We bring industrial-grade compaction directly to the Chippewa Valley.
Commercial 53-ft trailers, roll-off containers, and local drop-off vehicles unload at grade in Chippewa Falls / Eau Claire without needing high-overhead dock bays.
Materials are sorted by resin stream—EPS (#6), EPE (#4), EPP, and XPS—and inspected to ensure clean, contaminant-free feedstock.
Industrial GreenMax densifiers compress loose foam at up to a 90:1 ratio inside our climate-controlled facility, turning truckloads of air into dense, stackable ingots.
Palletized ingots are sold directly to verified circular manufacturers (including INTCO / GreenMax) to become architectural molding, picture frames, and insulation.
Founded in Chippewa Falls by Brady D. Zwiefelhofer, Green Nucleus LLC combines global supply chain, logistics, and operational discipline with a practical mission: solving Northwest Wisconsin's foam waste bottleneck. We collaborate with regional manufacturers, waste haulers, county recycling programs, and economic development partners across Chippewa and Eau Claire Counties to keep reusable plastics out of local landfills.
