EPS Foam Uses, Prices. High points reward

EPS foam parts are excellent packaging materials. Television, refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioning, electronic instruments, precision instruments, glassware, ceramics, arts and crafts and other products, are inseparable from the EPS foam as a cushioning packaging.EPS foam is a polystyrene resin as the base material, add blowing agent and other auxiliary materials, by heating and foaming of lightweight materials. It has the advantages of light weight, low thermal conductivity, low water absorption, water resistance, aging resistance, low temperature resistance, easy to process, inexpensive and high quality, etc. It is the indispensable containers of thermal insulation and freshness preservation materials for seafood refrigeration, vegetable preservation, heat preservation box, cold storage, reefer, railroad buses, etc. EPS packages are relatively easy to recycle and reuse, which is a good green packaging material. Japan in the recycling and reuse of EPS products in the achievement is considerable.

Japan's EPS resin shipments in 1991 for 237,000 tons, and has declined year by year since then, 1996 to 225,000 tons, 2000 for 209,000 tons, since 2002 to less than 200,000 tons, less than 190,000 tons in 2005. EPS resin is used in the production of most of a variety of packaging containers, such as aquatic products, vegetables, fruits, and other freshness of the box, etc.. In 2005, this application used 106,000 tons of EPS resin, accounting for 57% of the total shipments of 187,000 tons that year. For the production of cushioning materials for 53,000 tons, accounting for 28%. For building materials and other aspects of 28,000 tons, accounting for 15%.

Japan's EPS resin products recycling volume in recent years are more than 170,000 tons, such as 1997 to 2000, four years were more than 180,000 tons, other years for more than 170,000 tons in 2004 for 173,000, in 2005 for 170,000 tons. Recycling accounted for a high proportion of shipments in 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005 were 85.8%, 87.6%, 89.6% and 90.9%. 2005 recycled EPS resin recycling 71,400 tons, accounting for 42%, power generation - thermal energy with 49,500 tons, accounting for 29.1%, pure incineration of 13,600 tons, Accounting for 8%, landfill disposal of 35,500 tons, accounting for 20.9%. Recycling of EPS resin made of blanks for the largest number and proportion, since 2000, every year more than 40,000 tons, in 2005 for 48,000 tons, accounting for 67.4%, made of particles for 14,600 tons, accounting for 20.4%, made of powder for 0.32 million tons, 4.5%, other products for 0.29 million tons, accounting for 4.1%, made of chemical regeneration products for 0.26 million tons, accounting for 3.6%. million tons, accounting for 3.6%.

Recycled EPS resin products, the effective use of the amount (reproductions and heat utilization) and effective utilization rate, over the years has been improved. Effective utilization from 21,500 tons in 1991 increased to 55,000 tons in 1997, 105,000 tons in 2000, 114,000 tons in 2003 and 121,000 tons in 2005 respectively. The effective utilization rate was 12.6% in 1991, more than 50% in 1998, more than 60% in 2001, more than 65% in 2003 and raised to 71.1% in 2005.
