Can EVA Foam Be Recycled

EVA is known as Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate foam, which is a type of synthetic material commonly used in our daily life.

EVA finished products have various advantages such as good flexibility, shock-proof, non-slip, anti-stress, and high strength. Slippers, shoes, packaging, catheter… There are so many common products made of EVA foam. Also, EVA foam is lightweight, making it easy to handle and comfortable to wear.




What purposes does EVA material serve?

1. EVA material can be used to make packaging films, gaskets, medical equipment, hot melt adhesives, cable insulation, and so on.

2. EVA material can be used to make refrigerators conduits, gas pipes, construction boards, containers, and other household items.

3. EVA materials are widely used in wireless binding, digital products packaging, furniture Edge, cars and household appliances assembly, footwear, carpet coatings, and metal anti-corrosion coating.


Applications of EVA material:

1. With strong flexibility, chemical resistance, and good flexibility, EVA material has been widely used in footwear soles and interior materials.

2. EVA material is featured by inclusive and cross-linking characteristics. It applies to the halogen-free flame-retardant cable, shielded cable semiconductors and two-step silane cross-linked cables.




The industrial chain of EVA material:

Granulating, blending, and foaming are all steps in the production of EVA foam. The EVA resin will be ground into small granules. These particles will be blended with other additives in a specific proportion. EVA foam materials can be produced using various formulations. It will then be sold to manufacturers who will use it to make EVA products such as shoes. The waste EVA foam generated during the manufacturing process can be recycled and turned into renewable EVA foam.


How to recycle EVA foam?

EVA foam recycling is not only eco-friendly but also helpful in reducing production costs. Currently, the number of businesses that understand recycling EVA foam materials technology is small, particularly those that can produce stable quality recycled materials.

INTCO Recycling now can collect and recycle EVA foam and reduce its volume so that it is convenient to transport and store. To learn more about EVA recycling, please contact us.
