Specialists in EPS Recycling
Meadow Waste take EPS packaging (along with cardboard and other plastic packaging) from all different areas of the UK's Manufacturing and Municipal backgrounds to our depot. The loose EPS is then put through our compacting EPS machines which grind and compact the EPS into condensed briquettes. These briquettes are then palletised ready for collection and onward recycling.
The briquetted material is then collected by various customers, who are specialists in polystyrene recycling, and exported to various destinations, where it is pelletised and re-extruded back into EPS beads. These beads are then to be turned into insulation. This end market has been chosen based on the way it gets turned back into a high value product.
This is a fantastic example of a retail supply chain capturing material, normally perceived as a burden, and turning it into a valuable commodity which can then be processed back into new products. This is a prime example of the circular economy in practice.
