Expanded Polystyrene and Polystyrene. Lightweight materials used in packaging, insulation and a range of manufactured products.
Commercial sourcing based on the requirement
ThinkGreenSource does not hold inventory. We review available supply and buyer requirements for EPS and PS, including grade, form, quantity, condition, location and intended application.
Transport economics are particularly important for loose EPS because of its low density. Compaction can materially improve viability.

Where EPS and PS may be used
Clean EPS is widely associated with insulation and lightweight construction systems. Recycled feedstock can enter suitable insulation and manufactured products where technical requirements are met.
Application examples are general information only. Suitability depends on the specific material, technical specification, testing, standards and applicable regulation.
