Is expanded polypropylene recyclable?

Expanded polypropylene and the environment

Non-polluting and recyclable

 

EPP does not contain hydrocarbons, volatile organic components or other elements that are classified as very harmful to the environment. EPP does not contain heavy metals. For example, in the automotive industry, it is used not only to improve vehicle reliability, but also to reduce weight. 

 

Therefore, it helps reduce exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. EPP can be recycled or burned, and combustion will produce a high heating value without producing corrosive gases. If EPP is processed into protective packaging, it can be completely reused. 

 

In addition, EPP is completely non-toxic, so it can be used without additional consideration-even the main product for making toys.

 

Recycling and improving sustainability

 

In this way, insufficient products can be immediately brought back to the manufacturing process. So as to ensure that no EPP products are used in the environment without trouble.

 

In addition, EPP is used on a large scale as a raw material for recyclable packaging. Due to its durability and energy-saving properties, EPP helps reduce the number of alternative materials or materials that are only used once. Packaging materials made from EPP can be recycled and provided to the original manufacturing process.

 

EPP extracted from dismantled vehicles can also be recycled. EPP products used in automotive applications (up to the bumper assembly of the sun visor) are recycled. As automakers first need more and more parts that do not need to be disassembled and separated, EPP is becoming more and more popular.
