A simple, convenient resource for foam artists and designers – from sourcing foam blocks, tools and accessories to recycling and disposal of foam sets.
Blue Goblin offers a range of products and services to support your foam carving needs, including:
Foam Recycling
In the TV & film industry, large-scale sets, even whole cities, are often created from carved plastic foam. Likewise, artists may provide foam sculptures for a wide variety of uses, from marketing and branding opportunities to special events. These foam sets and sculptures and often designed to be used short-term, and disposing of them creates special challenges, as they are bulky and difficult to transport.
Blue Goblin offers a variety of convenient collection and processing alternatives to handle these bulky cast-offs, and well as off-cuts from the production process and other plastic foam waste. Blue Goblin’s teams can make one-time or recurring visits to your site to collect discarded foams, providing convenience and potentially reducing your transportation costs. Alternatively, Blue Goblin offers convenient drop-off at our facility in Northeast Atlanta/ Stone Mountain.
Compaction with Blue Goblin reduces the volume of plastic foam structures significantly, thus reducing transportation costs and taking trucks off the road – saving money while helping our environment. With Blue Goblin recycling, the vast majority of these foams can be recut or recycled into reusable plastics or plastic components, creating a further environmental benefit, and further reducing landfill costs.
