Most people call it “Styrofoam,” but in the recycling industry, we know it as Geëxpandeerd polystyreen (EPS). While Styrofoam™ is actually a trademarked brand for construction insulation, the white foam used in packaging and food containers is a material that poses a significant environmental challenge—but also presents a tremendous opportunity.
Did you know that EPS can take over 500 years to decompose in a landfill? As it breaks down into microplastics, it threatens wildlife and pollutes our ecosystems. Currently, only about 30% of EPS is recycled in regions with accessible programs. We are here to change that statistic.

Why Recycling EPS is a Smart Business Move
The myth that “Styrofoam isn’t recyclable” is outdated. In fact, EPS is 98% air and 2% plastic. The challenge isn’t the material itself; it’s the logistics. Transporting air is expensive.
This is where we come in. We don’t just advocate for recycling; we provide the technology to make it profitable.
For businesses, warehouses, and municipalities generating large volumes of foam waste, simply throwing it away is a financial loss. Waste hauling fees are rising, and landfill bans are increasing. We offer a better way.
