In an era where sustainability and efficiency are paramount, the construction industry is increasingly turning to eco-friendly materials. One such innovation is the use of recycled polystyrene (PS) granules in the production of insulation boards. These granules not only meet the stringent performance requirements for insulation but also offer significant environmental benefits.
Performance Requirements
Thermal Insulation: Recycled PS granules provide excellent thermal insulation, improving energy efficiency by maintaining stable indoor temperatures and reducing heating and cooling costs.
Durability: These granules create durable, moisture-resistant insulation boards, preventing mold growth and maintaining structural integrity over time.
Lightweight: Boards made from recycled PS granules are lightweight, simplifying handling and installation, and reducing labor, transportation costs, and emissions.
Fire Resistance: Treated recycled PS granules enhance fire resistance, ensuring compliance with safety standards and providing additional fire protection.
Environmental Advantages
Waste Reduction: Repurposing polystyrene waste into granules diverts plastic from landfills, reducing environmental burden and supporting a circular economy.
Lower Carbon Footprint: Producing recycled PS granules uses less energy than virgin polystyrene, lowering the carbon footprint and enhancing sustainability.
Resource Conservation: Using recycled materials conserves natural resources, reduces raw material extraction, and minimizes ecological impact, promoting sustainable development.
Recycled PS granules are proving to be an exceptional material for the production of insulation boards, combining excellent performance characteristics with substantial environmental benefits. INTCO Recycled PS Pellets can perfectly replace the GPPS material, help save more energy and protect our environment. It can match the same quality as GPPS, especially in the compressive strength, density, thickness and thermal conductivity. INTCO Recycled PS Pellet is certified with GRS, REACH, ROHS etc. Embracing recycled PS granules is not just a smart choice for today’s construction needs but also a responsible step towards environmental stewardship.
