EPS (Expandable polystyrene) is a common plastic material that is widely used in packaging, construction, transportation and other fields. Due to the special properties of EPS,its recycling is not as simple as other plastics,so it is crucial to develop effective EPS recycling methods. Currently, all countries are exploring EPS recycling technologies.These recycling methods mainly include mechanical recycling,chemical recycling and energy recycling.

Mechanical recycling is currently one of the most widely used EPS recycling methods. This process usually involves collecting waste EPS material, then reducing it into smaller particles through mechanical operations such as compression, crushing by EPS Crusher, etc. These particles can be used to make new EPS products,or reused as filler materials in construction, packaging and other fields. The advantages of mechanical recycling are simplicity and lower cost,but it also has some problems,such as the decline in the quality and performance of recycled EPS particles.
Chemical recycling is a new EPS recycling technology to convert them into other useful compounds. For example, by dissolving EPS material, can convert it into a solvent or fuel. The advantage of chemical recycling is that it can achieve efficient utilization of EPS materials,but its process is complex and requires high chemical treatment,so it has not been widely used yet.
Energy recovery is a method of converting waste EPS materials into energy, which usually involves burning the EPS materials and using the released thermal energy to generate steam or hot water, which can be used to provide heat or generate electricity. The advantage of energy recovery is that it can effectively process waste EPS, and generate energy at the same time, but the disadvantage is that it will produce harmful gases and ash, pollution to the environment.
