Given the large amounts of EPS we use every day, it is of paramount importance that there is an adequate solution for this kind of waste. From an ecological point of view reuse is better than recycling; very often the EPS packaging is reused several times; this, however, is not always possible.


EPS can be recycled in various ways:

  • melting
  • grinding into granules

You can also do your bit to reduce the EPS waste mountain that is deposited or ends up in the incinerator. Bring your EPS waste to the local waste disposal site. There you will find a container in which you can deposit your EPS waste. Bear in mind, however: you are only allowed to deposit clean and pure EPS waste into these containers (and no fish or meat trays).
