- Thermocol is
basically Polystyrene.
- Styrene is an
aromatic monomer, and polystyrene is an aromatic polymer
- Polystyrene is the
most recycled form of disposable food service packaging.
- Polystyrene is being
collected in school and corporate cafeterias, restaurants, grocery
stores and/or at curbside in 40 states and sent to reprocessors around
the country.
- Polystyrene
recycling is particularly successful in institutional
settings.
- Expandable
Polystyrene / EPS is PS Foam that use Pentane gas (C5H12) as the blowing
agent.
- There are different
types of plastics, ones which can be remoulded termed as
thermoplastics, such as polystyrene (PS), poly-propylene(PP),
polyamides (nylons), polycarbonate(PC), poly-ethylene(PE) and
polyvinyls(PVC).
Process
Polystyrene is a polymer
made from the monomer styrene, a liquid hydrocarbon that is commercially
manufactured from petroleum. At room temperature, polystyrene is
normally a solid thermoplastic, but can be melted at higher temperature
for molding or extrusion, then resolidified.
- Expanded Polystyrene
(EPS) is a lightweight, rigid cellular plastic that is made from the
polymerisation of styrene monomer.
- Polystyrene Paper
(PSP) is a PS Foam which produced by extruding process as another
plastic.
- EPS and PSP Foam are
made of Polystyrene, which is thermoplastic, so that it will become
again a polystyrene plastic when recycled.
- PS pallet from
recycled foam will be produced in various kinds of plastic products e.g.
video and tape cassette and ruler. The other way to reuse EPS Foam is to
mix the regrind beads with the new expanded bead for re-production in
molding process.
- Post-construction
EPS waste can be reground and mixed with concrete to produce new
building products such as Rastra and prefabricated concrete
blocks.
- Recycled polystyrene
is being used in egg cartons and sandwich containers.
- It is desirable to
recycle polystyrene foam to reduce the amount of plastic in municipal
landfills.
- In terms of global
warming, EPS plays a positive role in reducing carbon dioxide
emissions.
- Expanded polystyrene
insulation makes a significant contribution to building and construction
needs without adversely affecting the environment.
- EPS is produced in
thousands of different forms for specific packaging requirements and is
also used to make products such as disposable cups, trays, cutlery,
cartons, CD cases and containers.
- A company has been a
leader in EPS molding for over four decades. It has the most advanced
molding technology available allowing us to produce product faster and
more efficiently.
- The recycling
technologies used for EPS recycling can be varied according to the
quantity and composition of the waste collected. Recycling techniques
must be chosen to maximise the value of the goods produced, whilst
minimising the consumption of resources for transporting, sorting and
cleaning the waste.
- EPS has become over
the year a commodity of premium importance in building and packaging
markets. EPS contains 98 % of air, which makes it difficult to recycle
due to the high transport costs.
- It is conservatively
estimated that well over 300,000 tons of waste EPS are produced on an
annual basis in the UK. In the USA according to the EPA over 377,579
tons of Polystyrene are produced in California alone.
- Reducing the amount
of landfill space EPS takes by up to 95% would be reason enough to
thermally compact and densify this material.
- It is estimated that
approximately 15.2 million pounds (58 percent) of the 26.2 million
pounds of EPS packaging recycled during some year were remanufactured
into new EPS packaging.
