EPS Foam Scrap Packaging foam · Scrap · Expanded Polystyrene
EPS Foam Scrap is scrap EPS sourced from post-industrial and post-consumer eps packaging, thermocol boxes and trims. Scrap is material as collected: sorted by polymer, grade and colour, but not yet ground or pelletised. It is the lowest-cost way in and suits recyclers who wash, grind and extrude in-house.

What to check before you buy
- Contamination: Labels, paper, metal, sand and other polymers lower quality. Agree an acceptable limit and how it will be checked on arrival.
- Moisture: Moisture causes bubbles, silver streaks and weak parts. Ask for the moisture percentage and whether the material needs drying before use.
- Density: Density confirms the polymer and shows filler content. A density higher than expected usually means filler or mixed material.
- Lot check: Ask for photos of the actual lot, whether it is post-industrial or post-consumer, polymer purity, moisture, and how much label, paper, metal or other polymer is mixed in. Confirm the bale or bag weight and how much loads per truck.
