In the United States, EPS cups made of Styrofoam (EPS) used to be considered unrecyclable. However, with the development of technology, campaigns and product recycling markets are changing that. ” When we first started this industry, people didn’t care about EPS recycling. But now I am talking about bubbles at every recycling meeting I attended. ” says Michael, a director of recycling programs at Dart Container. Dart Container, based in Michigan, is the world’s largest maker of EPS cups. The company operates several recycling programs for their final clients, andworks with material recovery agencies to help them set up EPS recycling processes, and offers recycling services to the public in more than a dozen locations in the United States, Mexico, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.
With the development of technology, the recovery and utilization of EPS is becoming easier and cheaper. Styrofoam compactor were originally used to compress materials before transportation and reuse, but now, Styrofoam compactor are used to deal with mixed materials in a better way. Many experts believed that once the hopper is full, the improved Styrofoam compactor machine could be activated automatically, which reduce the labor demand. And they thought that materials after compressed could be sent for cleaning or directly made into balls to make new products. Recycled materials can be converted into a variety of products, such as crowns, base plates and planter trays. As they thought, the recycled Styrofoam are widely applied in manyproducts, like picture frames and some specialized construction products.
