Expanded Polystyrene Compactors

Correctly disposing of EPS in bulk has long presented a challenge for businesses.

Not any more.

Dispose of Expanded Polystyrene in Bulk

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is extremely useful for packaging in many industries including fresh fish, meat, consumer goods and technology.

It can take hundreds of years for expanded polystyrene to biodegrade, but EPS can be compacted and recycled in a Mil-tek EPS compactor.

What Kind of EPS Can I Recycle?

Expanded Polystyrene (also known as EPS or Styrofoam) EPS is lightweight, low-cost, impermeable, shock-absorbent and provides excellent all round protection for goods.

There are many different forms including moulded sheets for building and packaging peanuts, but the most commonly used form is EPS6, which can be recycled in a Mil-tek EPS Compactor.

Disposing & Compacting EPS

A Mil-tek EPS Compactor machine works in two stages. First, the polystyrene is shredded to remove both the shape and the air contained within.

This is then heated, compacted and reformed into a briquette. The briquette is extremely dense (300kg/m3) with an overall volume reduction of 40:1 (97.5%).

Shredding Bulk EPS

EPS is often simply bagged and disposed of in bulk, at significant cost. A Mil-tek EPS Compactor machine allows you to convert that cost to revenue and volume to space.

Mil-tek EPS Shredders come in two sizes, which are each better suited to different industries and operations. 

Earn Money by Recycling Polystyrene

Recycled EPS6 briquettes can be used to make mobile phone covers, DVD cases and many other cheap consumer goods.

By processing EPS6 using a Mil-tek EPS polystyrene compactor machine, you not only make substantial savings compared to sending it in bulk to landfills, but you create a lucrative revenue stream as well.
