Expanded polystyrene has many practical uses in everyday life. This ultra-light, waterproof, insulating and impact-resistant material is ideal for packaging products, such as food containers and protective packaging for household appliances. This means that it is normal to have polystyrene waste at home that needs to be disposed of on a regular basis. But what if your municipality does not accept #6 plastic in the recycling bin? Do you throw the polystyrene waste in the garbage? Of course not! People who care about protecting the environment can rest assured that expanded polystyrene is 100% recyclable!
Expanded plastics have a long life cycle. In fact, with the right eco-friendly actions, they can be reused and recycled almost endlessly. For example, the polystyrene protective corners used to transport your new television will become an insulation board to keep you warm at home! All you have to do is keep your polystyrene waste aside until your next visit to an ecocentre near you. Being a green citizen is easier than you think! And when everyone does their part for the environment, everyone wins.
