Why Should We Advocate Recycling EPS Wastes Instead Of Banning EPS

Due to the unique structure of EPS, this material has a wide range of industrial uses. Considering its low density, EPS is currently the lightest packaging material, which can cushion and shock. In addition, EPS is often used as thermal insulation material. The building sector has become more and more dependable on this material.

 

Due to its good compression performance, long service life, stable performance and good economic benefits, it is widely used in roads, bridges and culverts for civil engineering. In 1972, the Norwegian National Road Research Institute adopted the ultra-lightweight filling construction method for accumulating EPS blocks on peat formations for the first time, which was a complete success.

 

Later, this construction method was also used in countries such as Canada and Sweden. In recent years, the EPS construction method has developed rapidly in Japan, and is mainly used for filling projects such as roads and parks.

 

The research shows that EPS material has certain feasibility and operability in highway widening and splicing, and has significant advantages in controlling all settlements generated by new roadbed loads, ie, total settlement of roadbed, which can reduce the subgrade of splicing part.

 

The amount of settlement can reduce the influence of the splicing part on the old roadbed. There are some successful application examples in China, and it is pointed out that there are still some problems in the application process of EPS, which needs further research in the future.

 

Therefore, more and more people have realized that EPS is recyclable and valuable with the help of GREENMAX recycling, which is aimed to help give second birth to this kind of plastic material.

Under the compression of GREENMAX EPS compactor, those waste eps can be densified into blocks or ingot, and then those blocks can be granulated into ps pellets, which are quite valuable due to the reuse of other new products or new plastic packaging material, and the EPS reduction ratio can be 50:1.

 

As we know that EPS recycling can turn waste into treasure, why should people being irresponsible, throwing away without recycling once we used up those products.
