Turn Your EPS Waste into Value

Expanded PolyStyrene (EPS) it's a foam plastic material produced from solid beads of polystyrene. primarily used for packaging, insulation etc.

​

It is a closed cell, rigid foam material produced from:

 

  • Styrene – which forms the cellular structure

  • Pentane – which is used as a blowing agent

​

  All the PS / EPS is recycled to produce new expandable polystyrene.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging is 100% recyclable.

​

Expanded polystyrene made with a fire retardant additive, typically used in the manufacture of EPS building insulation needs to be processed separately.

RECYCLING PROCESS:

1. BULKY EPS FOAM COLLECTION
​

​

3. DEGASSING & PELLETIZING 

 

Compacted EPS is feeded in a extruder. The extruder melt, degasify and mix the EPS in a formulation. Themixture is pelletized. Now EPS has been recycled into PS pellets.

2. COMPACTION. VOLUME REDUCTION 

 

The compactor crush the waste foamed EPS into pieces by the blades and gears. Once crushed the pieces enterin a screw that presses the foam through a long channel. The screw heat the material by friction helping densification.Now density increased about 50 times. It means the volume is reduced by 50 (cold compaction) Other compactorsdensify the material with electrical heaters (ingots).

4. FORMULATION 

 

Formula is added.

6. VIRGIN EXPANDABLE POLYSTYRENE RAW MATERIAL 

 

Expandable raw material resin EPS

5. GASSING 

 

Addition of expanding agent

7. EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE 

 

Back to its origin. Expanded polystyrene.
