Expanded polystyrene foam (EPS), commonly known as polystyrene foam is a lightweight plastic material consisting of small hollow spherical balls, widely used as a packaging medium. In the past several years approximately 36,000 tons of EPS was manufactured only in Australia.

During the same period over 900 tons of EPS was collected and recycled. EPS is uniquely recyclable and can be fully reprocessed, which diverts waste from landfill and helps reduce demand on petroleum from which polystyrene is derived.



Despite in Australia, there are many other countries are also take part in the EPS recycling. However, the EPS recycling rate is only about 34%, this is far below the application rate. The reason why people think the EPS recycling is difficult is that most of them have no idea of how to recycle the items.

EPS is widely used as packaging in the home appliance and food service industry. Most of them appears in the bulky volume which is hard to manage and dispose. Many of them were usually sent to landfill or thrown away. This may lead to many environmental problems.
