Step-by-Step Guide:
From Collection to Recycling

How BEWI Circular transforms EPS waste into a new resource

At BEWI Circular we ensure that expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste is collected, processed, and recycled efficiently, contributing to a circular economy.

Our step-by-step recycling process helps businesses, municipalities, and industries manage their EPS waste sustainably.

01

Collection & storage

Who is involved?
Manufacturers, warehouses, retailers, municipalities, and recyclers

  • Identify and separate clean EPS waste (free from contaminants like metal, concrete, or glue)
  • Use BEWI Circular bags, bins, or bulk containers for organized storage
  • Compact large volumes using a compactor or baler (optional but recommended for efficiency)

02

Transportation & logistics

Who is involved?
Logistics providers, collection partners, and recycling centers

  • Schedule a pickup with BEWI Circular or deliver the collected EPS waste to the nearest recycling centre
  • Optimise transport efficiency by using compacted EPS, which reduces volume by up to 90%
  • Ensure proper handling to prevent contamination

03

Pre-processing & sorting

Who is involved?
Quality control teams, recycling operators

  • The collected EPS is inspected for quality control
  • Contaminated or unsuitable material is removed to ensure high recycling efficiency
  • EPS is shredded, cleaned, and prepared for the next stage of processing

04

Recycling & transformation

Who is involved?
BEWI Circular recycling facilities and processing plants

  • The EPS material is melted and processed into high-quality recycled general-purpose polystyrene (rGPPS)
  • The rGPPS is purified, tested, and prepared for reuse in various industries
  • This process significantly reduces CO₂ emissions compared to virgin material production

05

Reuse & new applications

Who is involved?
Manufacturers, construction companies, packaging producers, sustainability partners

  • The recycled material (rGPPS) is supplied to manufacturers for new products
  • Used EPS waste is transformed into insulation, construction materials, packaging, and more
  • The cycle continues, closing the loop in EPS recycling
