Can densification drive curbside-foam recovery? Pilot effort says no

摘要

Canada's largest city conducted a trial project last year to find a consistent recycling market for densified foam polystyrene. The effort reached a clear conclusion, but it wasn't good news. "After distribution of the densified EPS to potential re-processors for evaluation, no viable market could be established for either the densified EPS, or standard baled material, with the existing quality," according to a post summarizing the project.
