StyroPak polystyrene boxes are a convenient, inexpensive, and lightweight packaging solution for the retail industry.

Manufactured in Australia from high-quality expanded polystyrene foam boxes are not only versatile, economical and durable, the high shock absorption characteristics of EPS makes them an ideal choice for the storage and transport of fragile, expensive or temperature-sensitive goods. Plus, the lightweight nature of expanded polystyrene means reduced transportation costs compared to traditional packaging material. Cleaner and more visually appealing to customers, EPS foam packaging is resistant to bacteria and moisture and 100% recyclable.

Expanded polystyrene boxes can be used to package a range of fresh produce items – seafood, meat, fruit and vegetables. Moisture-resistant and chemically inert, a polystyrene cooler box is extremely safe for food packaging, and its insulation properties keep food fresher for longer during transport.

Please note: StyroPak EPS boxes are only available for order through our Foamex SA office. If you are based in Victoria, NSW, QLD and Tasmania, please contact our manufacturing partner Polyfoam - https://www.polyfoam.com.au/contact/ for enquiries and orders

FAQs about polystyrene boxes

Are polystyrene boxes recyclable?

All non-contaminated EPS polystyrene boxes are 100 per cent recyclable, and because they are made from a single polymer, they can be turned into a multitude of products. EPS is straightforward to recycle and easily accommodates within a circular economy.

Foamex collects and recycles polystyrene from several sources:

  • Excess product and offcuts from building sites
  • Offcuts from the factory floor
  • Commercial recycling agreements Foamex has with customers such as packaging clients
  • EPS packaging from the general public is sent via recycling bins at Foamex plants through its partnership with StyroCycle

StyroPak polystyrene foam boxes are available for order through our Foamex SA office. If you are based in Victoria, NSW, QLD and Tasmania, please contact Foamex’s manufacturing partner Polyfoam https://www.polyfoam.com.au/contact/ for enquiries and orders.

 

How are foam boxes made?

Steam is applied to tiny grains or beads of styrene that contain a minute amount of pentane to create expanded polystyrene boxes. This steam process causes the thermoplastic polystyrene to soften and expand up to 40 times its original volume. Using steam, the expanded beads are moulded into shapes or large blocks and then sliced into boards. The EPS is then dried and finished by several processes, such as hot wire cutting or lamination.

The steam used in the EPS manufacturing process is produced from natural gas and water and is reused many times as it is condensed back to liquid water after each process.
