Abstract

A waste processing apparatus which can easily and efficiently process waste, a waste recovery system using this apparatus and a liquid container ideal for use with the waste processing apparatus and waste recovery system. The waste processing apparatus comprises a processing part for processing supplied waste (for example foam polystyrene) with a processing liquid (for example limonene) and a storing part for storing produced liquid (for example limonene containing dissolved foam polystyrene) produced in this processing part and provided with a removable liquid container constructed to both supply processing liquid to the processing part and receive produced liquid produced by the waste processing apparatus. In the waste recovery system, the liquid container is removed from the waste processing apparatus after receiving the produced liquid and carried to a waste recycling apparatus, the produced liquid is transferred from the liquid container into the waste recycling apparatus, waste or waste and processing liquid is recovered from the produced liquid by the waste recycling apparatus and the empty liquid container is filled with new or recycled processing liquid and returned to the…
