EPS, also called polystyrene foam, is well proven in civil engineering and construction applications where its inherent strength means it can support structures such as roads and railways with complete ease.

As with the production of any other product, there will be substandard of goods and trimmings. In building and construction, these become waste polystyrene. Throwing them away as rubbish contributes to unnecessary landfill, as well as contributing to white pollution. Recycling of foam insulation is therefore a great solution to help combat these issues, however, due to its volume it requires a lot of space to store waste polystyrene insulation and polystyrene foam scrap.

The advantages of recycling polystyrene foam insulation include:

 1 Save you time, money and labour.
 2. Less storage space and less waste on site
 3. Environmentally friendly
 4. High density and safe, no fumes, low utility consumption

What solutions are available to help with the recycling of polystyrene foam insulation? Our GREENMAX recycling machine can help.

Styrofoam insulation recycling solutions

The GREENMAX APOLO series is a good choice as it compacts waste polystyrene insulation, making tightly compacted polystyrene foam building face panels much easier to handle, saving storage, transport space and costs.

Of course, GREENMAX Recycling also offers another great way to recycle polystyrene insulation with our polystyrene foam thickener. Many consumers across the world who have used the GREENMAX MAR range of hot-melt machines have praised the excellent operating procedures of the machines and the excellent after-sales service. After the process of chopping, heating and extrusion, the foam can be turned into dense PS ingots.
