Nowadays, many EPS foam products are used in a large number of household appliances and other packaging or frozen food packaging. Fruit packaging is now mostly in foam boxes, and a few instant noodle bowls are made of expandable polystyrene bead foam.

What is Expanded Polystyrene? Expanded polystyrene(EPS) is a kind of material that contains 98 percent air in solid plastic. It has lightweight, heat insulation, sound absorption, shock, and other characteristics.

EPS foam is perhaps the most common in everyday life: this white foam can be seen in cups for hot beverages, refrigerators, insulation, packaging, etc. The foam plastic consists of 96–98% air and 2–4% polystyrene.

Polystyrene has excellent impact cushioning properties, strong toughness, thermal insulation properties, acid and alkali resistance, and lightweight, waterproof and other performance.

Waste EPS foam is a source of recycled plastics, and all plastics basically have the value of recycling. EPS foam is widely used in packaging such as food containers and cups, delivery boxes, etc.

According to official statistics, there are about 45,000 tonnes of expanded polystyrene (EPS) created and consumed each year in Australia.

With the strengthening of global resource sustainable development policies, polystyrene recycling is becoming more and more common. The Polystyrene hot melt machine provided by GREENMAX is of high quality and easy to operate.

According to statistics, the global EPS market is about 6.62 million tons, and EPS foam has been applied to every corner of our lives.
