What items are made from EPS foam?
EPS (expanded polystyrene) foam is commonly used to manufacture food containers like meat trays, cups, take-out boxes, and egg cartons. It’s also used for protective packaging materials that cushion valuable items like TVs during shipping. Products made from EPS foam typically have a “6” resin identification code stamped on the bottom. EPS is sometimes mistakenly called “Styrofoam”.
Does food residue affect the recycling of EPS packaging?
As with other recyclables, EPS packaging should be relatively clean with food residues removed before recycling. The mechanical recycling process involves grinding, washing, and re-pelletizing the plastic resin, similar to other post-consumer plastics. Any remaining contamination may reduce material yields but not prohibit recycling.
Are there alternatives to mechanical recycling for EPS?
Yes, innovative chemical recycling methods are being developed that can break down EPS into its fundamental molecular components like styrene monomers. This chemically “unzips” the plastic for purification. While mechanical is still predominant, chemical recycling can better handle contaminated EPS streams.
