In certain climate-variable regions of the United States—such as Massachusetts, Michigan, and Colorado—the demand for lightweight insulation materials with excellent thermal performance is steadily increasing in construction projects.
EPS foam boards (commonly known as Styrofoam) have become a widely used insulation material due to their outstanding thermal insulation properties. They are commonly applied in walls, roofs, and floors. However, as usage continues to rise, the challenge of recycling large volumes of Styrofoam waste generated throughout the construction process has become an urgent issue to address.
