The recycling process, where we come into play, transforms EPS, which would otherwise become waste, into valuable resources. Recycling is the reprocessing of used EPS packaging in order to create a new material.
The first step in the recycling process is COLLECTING we will send a truck to collect the material. Once the truck is fully loaded, it is taken back to our factory.
The second step in this process is SORTING is done by waste categories, at the same time the unusable contaminated material is removed.
The third step in the recycling process is COMPACTIONIn order to recycle used EPS packaging, such must be separated from other materials. EPS is easily recognizable, and we collect it from retail outlets, distribution centres, factories or warehouses. The collected material is subsequently compacted to one-fortieth of its original size for easy and cost-effective transport.
It is followed GRANULATION of the EPS, feeding the EPS into a granulator that shreds the material into smaller pieces and mixing, the material is put into a blender for thorough mixing with similar granules.
The last step is EXTRUSION the material is fed into the extruder, where it is melted. Colour may be added during this step, then the extruded material is moulded into a new value-added product.
