The Challenges Of Recycling Foam Packaging In Uk - China

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam has actually proven to be an extremely valuable material, specifically in product packaging, as it has exceptional shock-absorbing qualities, which make it fantastic for protecting products en transit.

It is also extremely lightweight, which minimizes transit costs and carbon emissions during transport.

Nevertheless, EPS product packaging provides a variety of challenges.

A few of these include: EPS is one of one of the most common materials found in illegally dumped waste.

It is light-weight, very visible, and easily breaks down into small pieces which can be lugged by wind and water.

EPS occupies an overmuch huge space in landfill.

This is because EPS is primarily air, and has exceptional compressive strength so it does not compact well (without machinery).

Because of this, EPS can take up a lot of space in landfill, which can lead to higher costs for local councils and businesses.

EPS is not currently gathered with curbside recycling programs in many councils.

However, the recycling options are largely fragmented at present (something we are hoping to change!).

That aside, it is a really simple material to recycle and can be recycled consistently into resourceful items, which is why we require to do everything we can to recycle foam product packaging and divert it from landfill.
