Ladybug Brazil | yes, Styrofoam is recyclable cucumber!
Although there are processes that allow reuse polystyrene as raw material in the manufacture of other products or even turn it back into polystyrene, it is virtually impossible to make it work.
Beyond the styrofoam espuma have low market value, its density and weight are low. To get an idea, just know that a tanker truck full of Expanded Polystyrene carries only about 190 kg of Styrofoam. For recycling, we have to add tons of Styrofoam, I mean, have huge spaces in deposits to accumulate it and many trips to transport it.
The Brazilian Association of Expanded Polystyrene, Abrapex shows the process in detail and even has a guide standardization. In the City of St. Paul site, I discovered that I do everything right: wash, dry, and send it to the collection point. News 2006 says the following:
Led to the central screening, Styrofoam is separated from other waste, compressed and marketed. Currently thirty tons are recycled Styrofoam per month. The expectation espuma is that this number will double by improving the quality of life of those who participate in selective collection and the cooperative that markets the material as the amount collected is reversed to the cooperative. Meanwhile, back in Rio Grande espuma (South), use the bandejinhas tobacco growers to plant their livelihood. The news is already 2004 ... Sustainability Magazine account (almost a year ago) that companies would make a campaign to increase the collection of the material, which was 20%. Little, if we think that recycles 98% of aluminum. And there in Goiania, Biosphere Institute invented a way to break the material and reuse to generate income in the community. In the short note Akatu, also last year, ag entity discovers that the difficulty of recycling is even logistics. Skies!
Here at home I have a tradition: Styrofoam avoid like the devil. Of course sometimes you can not run: Today came a bandejinha along with the pork tenderloin. Okay guys, yeah, is not to eat meat, but I like a little bit ... They are the worst bandejinhas even because now the people invented "embed" the absorbent. The result is that you can not recycle.
Parentheses. Today in queue supermerecado, saw a scene that never imagined: someone bought pokãs without putting in the bag. It becomes harder for the girl regret, but avoids a sachet. The hope of a deeper consciousness died with bagging in bags from the supermarket ... but is a little light, I know it is.
Update: now there are two comments on this post looking for one to buy / recycle styrofoam in various espuma parts of Brazil. The only company that recycles styrofoam found by the blogger are through Google is the Santa Luzia, located in North Arm, Santa Catarina, and works with waste collected there anyway.
Ladybird, your post reminded me of the time when the Big Macs came in Styrofoam containers. I'm getting old ... At the same time: recycle Styrofoam in the same way I do with the bottles of chilled and grocery bags. But this post was great for me that I aware that the business even cooler is to avoid this difficulty as to recycle it is not settled ...
Inagaki Hi! I also remember (though hate McDonald's). Pure ... Age breathed relieved through the information portal of the Municipality of Sampa here. I know the collectors are well organizadinhos and the thing more or less works. Now we need to engage staff Thanks for visiting, see? bj
Ladybug, I cost her to discover this post. I was wondering why or rather how people come to my blog aparercem Ladybug? espuma I'm not part of your network (sniff!) Then I saw the Blogblogs. Ah, the poppet reminded of my asks from. I came here to thank you. Thanks! Loved it, of course.
@ Anny / Anna / Annyllinha: Ladybug redesign is hidden in there. You can not put everyone I love and read the rod. People should get there by the links in the posts - which, incidentally, are usually much more efficient espuma than these fixed links and dusty Qdo i put the system GReader people will grumble that does not appear too, wanna bet?? dear and thank you for visiting ahaahhahaha bj.
I came here to confirm that, after all, Styrofoam recycling or not. Always put the pile of recyclables, despite the doubt. nice surprise to find this space, diverse, open and yet warm. Congratulations Ladybug
Hi, Luciana Welcome. Found that recycles yes. Even has a post in the oven ('m with a matter of "pinch post" here ... hehehehe) about a company that uses this to make Styrofoam frames welcome tables and send their suggestions and criticisms espuma whenever you want. great bj
My location is Santa Catarina, espuma Florianópolis, and disposal of large quantities of isoopor, I wonder what to do with this m
