Sell your scrap polystyrene
Solid PS and HIPS. Sheet, thermoformed packaging and moulding scrap.
We work with businesses producing polystyrene regularly and in volume. Business sellers only.
Tell us what the polystyrene is and roughly how much, and we'll come back with how we'd handle it.
Solid polystyrene is a different material from the expanded foam most people picture, and it moves differently. Greenview buys PS and HIPS scrap from businesses across the UK. Collected from your site, or delivered into our Garthorpe site just outside Melton Mowbray.
If you have expanded polystyrene, meaning packaging blocks, insulation or fish boxes, that is EPS and it has its own page.
How polystyrene recycling works
Solid polystyrene comes in two forms. General purpose PS is the clear, brittle material used for disposable containers, packaging and casings. High impact polystyrene, HIPS, is toughened with rubber and used for thermoformed packaging, appliance housings and signage.
Both recycle. What matters most is that the load is a single polymer and, ideally, a single colour. Polystyrene is easily confused with other rigids on a sorting line, so a clean segregated stream is worth considerably more than a mixed one.
Polystyrene grades we take
- HIPS sheet and thermoformed scrap Skeletal waste, offcuts and reject formings from thermoforming.
- GPPS moulding scrap Off-spec parts, sprues and runners from injection moulding.
- Purgings and lump Dense blocks from extruder and moulder changeovers.
- PS regrind Single-polymer regrind, by arrangement, subject to specification.
