Sebright - Model EPS D120 and D30 - Polystyrene Densification Systems & EPS Foam Densification Systems - Brochure

Recycled EPS is used to make a host of items from DVD cases to park benches. So why does so much EPS still go to the landfill? It is precisely because the material is light and bulky. For example, a whole semi full of the lose material may weigh as little as 3,000 lbs. Let’s be conservative and say it is worth $.25 per pound and that would make the whole load worth $750. Unfortunately, you can’t ship it very far for $750. However, if the EPS is run through a Bright Technologies EPS Densifier before shipment it can be stacked on pallets and load weights can be over 40,000 pounds! To sum it up, a 38,000-pound load @ $.25/pound is worth $9,500.00!!
