Good News - EPS Recycling Rates Continue To ClimbRecycling rates are reported on a bi-annual basis (every other year). The good news is EPS recycling rates continue to climb! - Over 56 million lbs of EPS were recycled in 2006.
- Almost 25 million lbs of that was "post intended use" not in-plant scrap or reject recycling.
- In 1990 the recycling rate of EPS was about 1.7%, sixteen years later it's almost 20%.
The EPS industry needs to support maintaining this trend and find ways to make recycling easier for consumers - but there is no question the numbers are going in the right direction!
