I worked for a retailer in middle Tennessee who took my advice and achieved incredible awards from the state by simply purchasing a $19,000 melting type densifier (the other type is compression). The county said that we kept a pile of Styrofoam several feet thick the size of a football field from entering the landfill. EPS is recyclable and as you can see in this article, it can be sent somewhere else in a densified form for reuse. That’s the very definition of sustainability. Thanks for covering this important topic and I’d love to see more articles relating to how our industry can prevent filling the landfills with materials that can have other purposes.
