Transport Cost Saving by Dissolving |
|
Volume reduction factors 3-4 times higher than through grinding can be reached by dissolving EPS in CreaSolv® PS and collection in solution offers additional advantages. Both, grinded as well as compressed EPS can be dissolved easily in CreaSolv® PS and many other plastics or impurities, which are typically present, do not dissolve and can be easily separated.

InnoNet Project 3578: "EPS-Loop" |
 In November 2003 the EPS – Loop project was launched by a consortium of eleven companies. This co-operation was based on the CreaSolv® Process and the main goal was the development and optimization of this recycling process for EPS waste. Additionally a concept for a cost efficient transport of EPS waste was be developed as well. The run-time of the project was 18 months and the total budget € 1.1 million.
