Our responsibilities at construction sites
Foamex are a committed supporter of EPSA’s product stewardship scheme targeting the reduction of expanded polystyrene litter from building sites in order to help reduce the number of polystyrene offcuts ending up in landfill.
All our polystyrene products are delivered to construction sites in a responsible manner, tied down in accordance with industry approved methods to prevent damage and blow away. We supply scrap bags to construction sites with all our Diamond Pod deliveries to assist with the separation of the EPS offcuts from general waste.
We actively work with building contractors to make arrangements for waste collection, transporting the filled scrap bags back to our facilities for repurposing into new polystyrene products. While EPS is recyclable it should not be put in your typical household general rubbish or recycling bins. Recycling EPS requires a specific process and currently is only recylced in large industrial quantities in Australia.
We also recycle polystyrene waste from the general public!
Don’t put your polystyrene packaging from your household appliances in landfill. Give it to us instead. Clean, expanded polystyrene can be 100% recycled.
