Waste management is one of the most prevalent concerns in the world. According to the World Bank, the world produces 2 billion tons of waste every year. And most of the waste produced around the world is not biodegradable. Irresponsible waste management contributes to overburdened landfills, global warming, and environmental pollution. Among them, waste EPS foam accounts for a large proportion of pollution problems. Nevertheless, EPS foam is actually recyclable. Only if we adopt the correct way to recycle it, will we benefit from the recycling of waste EPS foam.



Other than the past view of dealing with waste EPS foam, EPS foam is 100% recyclable theoretically. At present, it may be hard to achieve a 100% recycling rate, but most waste EPS foam can be recycled in the right way.
How to realize EPS foam waste recycling? Now with mature technology and professional machines, it’s easy to achieve the target of recycling. But the whole process needs all of us to finish. First, we residents should throw our foam waste such as foam packaging, foam boxes into special recycling bins. And then some recycling organizations or communities come to collect EPS foam waste to local recycling centers. 



Then how to recycle it? For example, in the Lismore recycling center, there is an EPS recycling machine that helps improve the capacity to deal with this earth-wrecking foam waste. This machine will mince EPS foam, sort it, and then push it into a heating chamber to melt it into ingots which can be recycled into various home decorations and building supplies. Lismore's recycling machine has helped the city save about 550 cubic meters of landfill and recover 30 tons of waste EPS foam per year. This is the common way for citizens to recycle EPS foam.



As for those EPS foam producers and end-users, what can they do to recycle EPS foam?
Cooperation with reliable EPS recyclers is a well-advised method. To finish the whole recycling process needs more investment and capacities. However, they can purchase a recycling machine and then sell the compressed ingots out. For instance, INTCO Recycling is a recycler that has specialized in EPS foam recycling for many years. Therefore, many big brands have reached cooperation with INTCO Recycling through the way of purchasing GREENMAX EPS foam recycling machines and selling back the ingots back. Too much success on EPS foam recycling has shown that investment and income are surely in direct proportion in this domain.

Adopting the correct recycling method of EPS foam waste, there are many benefits we can get. For citizens, recycling EPS foam helps decrease pollution, create a green ecological environment. For businessmen, recycling EPS foam is conducive to the healthy development of the enterprise, and good corporate image, and most importantly, considerable profits. Based on all angles, EPS foam recycling is something we must do.
