Many materials known as Styrofoam are actually EPS. EPS is the abbreviation of the polymer called expanded polystyrene foam. EPS, unlike styrofoam, is not pressed. 95% of its volume is air. The areas of use are determined in accordance with the content of the material.
EPS is used in the manufacture of laboratory equipment and food packaging. Polystyrene is combined with various additives, colorants or other polymer types and is used in many areas where toys, various devices, automotive parts and polymers are used.
In recent years, EPS has also been used in the manufacture of insulated products such as coffee cups or foam containers produced to carry various other cold/hot products. However, since it is very light, it is also used as a protective material in products that need to float on water, such as life jackets and rafts, in order to prevent the products from being damaged during transportation.
ECOEPS offers the most appropriate method of recycling the unused EPS.
