Recently the governor of Colorado Jared Polis declared the Colorado Recycles Week. It’s a time to promote recycling, zero-waste programs, and keeping the planet green. According to a report that in 2020, Colorado buried about 5.9 million tons of waste in landfill. So this year, with the coming of America Recycles Day, Colorado decided to recycle waste for a whole week. EPS waste used to be thrown into the landfill and then recycled from the solid waste stream. By the way, as the recycled EPS, INTCO Recycling can provide an EPS densifier to help Colorado deal with it.



During this Colorado Recycles Week, many waste materials were recycled, including EPS. As people, we all know that EPS is usually used in product packaging, logistics, construction, fishery, etc. But EPS products are treated as unrecyclable waste: landfill or incineration. Burning will lead to air pollution, however landfilling will also lead to bad effects on the environment. Many environmental experts and organizations have done research on EPS waste and found that EPS or microplastic appears everywhere even in human bodies. Another unbelievable and shocking data, EPS waste has occupied too much space in the landfill, and with time going by, the number will keep growing.



One thing that can be believed is that no government would want to fill a city's landfills with this kind of hard-to-degrade, environmentally harmful waste. In response to this, some places have chosen to ban EPS outright, but cities like Colorado have taken a smarter approach: EPS recycling. SustainAbility's recycling drop-off center is based in the Denver Metro community of Arvada. Eps recycling. Sustainability's recycling drop-off center based in the Denver Metro community of Arvada successfully recycled more than 9 tons of EPS waste is a huge breakthrough for the city. In addition, in order to save the cost of transporting EPS waste by truck (it is known that EPS is very large in volume), the collected EPS waste was processed on-site through an EPS densifier.



Colorado is one of many cities that are trying to divert EPS waste from landfills and recycle it. The participation of local residents and recycling centers is also high.
