One of the most confusing aspects of recycling: What can be recycled and who is willing to recycle it for you? There is one particularly confusing material that stands out when it comes to recycling, EPS-the most popular packaging material.

Is EPS foam recyclable?

EPS is recyclable, but due to the large volume, dirty surface after being used, and even many other reasons, this material is not popular in the recycling industry. Meanwhile, EPS is considered by the majority of residents as non-recyclable material. This is really unbelievable!



Has the problem of EPS recycling been solved?

EPS foam is account for 30% of the landfill space in America, the fact that illustrates the current plight of online shoppers. Although EPS brought great convenience to our life, but the increasingly serious environmental problems have forced us to abandon the use of this material. As a result, American states began to ban the use of EPS materials, especially foam food containers.

Although the recycling of EPS foam remains controversial, but the recycling rate of EPS waste is increasing every single year, and it is expected to grow higher with the development of recycling technologies.
