EPS International

EPS International Oy was founded in 2014. Our customers include the entire manufacturing industry, as well as the retail sector, logistics, and logistics centers. We help companies reduce their waste management costs while contributing to a cleaner world.

Disposing of EPS (commonly known as Styrofoam) is expensive, even as waste, due to its low density, which increases the cost of waste compacting and transportation. However, the Finnish company EPS International Oy has developed a patented method, an extruder, that compresses, for example, 23 EPS fish boxes into a compact briquette measuring only 20 x 40 cm and weighing up to 10 kg. This technology enables cost-effective transportation of the briquettes to recycling facilities, which collect them at their own expense and pay for the material.

The solution offers significant savings for waste owners, as waste costs are substantially reduced with the extruder. In addition, the financial compensation received for the material can be considerable when recycling facilities accept the briquettes. This makes EPS recycling a more economically viable alternative to traditional waste disposal. This innovation is an excellent solution for companies seeking to optimize the cost of their waste management.

Calculation of the Number of EPS Boxes:

Volvo FH:

Length: 13 meters

Width: 2.5 meters

Height: 2.7 meters

= 87 m³ total volume

So, 87 m³ / 0.048 m³ per fish box = 1,812 boxes× 60% (due to boxes being loosely loaded)= 1,087 boxes × 0.45 kg per box= Payload: 489 kg
