EPS is in great demand for home insulation. According to a new study, the application and demand for EPS insulation are expected to grow by 3.3% per year. EPS stands for expanded polystyrene foam, which now turns out to be the prior option for manufacturers. The most popular home insulation material is EPS foam insulation which is covered with concrete because EPS can enhance insulation without affecting the structure. In addition, the property of lightweight, low cost, and conformability make EPS popular in making heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning equipment. 



As the cost of energy rises these days, the demand for EPS is driven to grow as well. The fact is that the saved energy by EPS thermal insulation exceeds energy cost, making EPS insulation in greater need. The market analysis raised an example that a house wall without insulation loses the equivalent of around 158L of heating oil per square meter within 20 years while a well-insulated wall loses only 20L. In addition to insulation, EPS is also widely used in other applications. For example, EPS can also be the material of surfboards, isn’t it amazing?



Improving building insulation is expected to be the key objective of Europe’s “green deal”, which also requires reducing and recycling EPS amount. The recycling of EPS may be hard, however, as long as we resort to the right way, EPS recycling can also be simple. EPS recycling methods offered by INTCO Recycling are proven to successfully solve various recycling problems with the help of GREENMAX EPS recycling machines. GREENMAX EPS compactors and densifiers work similarly by crushing and compressing EPS waste into ingots. The difference is that an EPS densifier can melt EPS materials down, making the density even larger. 



INTCO has teamed up with many companies from different fields including furniture, home building, and retail stores. EPS insulation recycling is always a hot topic in the recycling industry. INTCO can offer different types of recycling machines to meet different needs. After many times of practice, we can say that we made it.
