Why Recycling EPS Is Important

Join The Movement
While Styrofoam (technically Expanded Polystyrene or EPS) is often viewed as a major environmental pollutant, it is actually one of the most efficient materials for building high-performance, sustainable homes.
Diverting it from landfills into construction transforms it from a "forever waste" into a "forever asset."
1. The Landfill Problem: A Passive Hazard
When Styrofoam is sent to a landfill, it becomes a permanent environmental burden.
- Space Inefficiency: Styrofoam is 90% air but incredibly bulky. It consumes massive amounts of landfill space that could be used for biodegradable waste.
- Non-Biodegradable: It is estimated that Styrofoam takes 500 to 1,000 years to break down. In a landfill’s anaerobic environment, it may never fully decompose.
- Pollution Risk: Over time, it can break down into microplastics that leach into groundwater or release harmful gases like methane derivatives, contributing to ozone depletion.
2. The Home Building Solution: An Active Asset
In construction, Styrofoam is used in Insulated Compost Concrete Forms (ICCF) and Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs).Greenwood manufacture blocks made from 85% to 100% recycled Styrofoam diverted directly from landfills.
Extreme Resilience: Homes built with Styrofoam-concrete composites can withstand winds over 250 mph (Category 5 hurricanes) and are highly seismic-resistant. Fire & Pest Resistance as well.

Our main goal is to reduce the environmental impact of construction and promote sustainable practices in the industry. We understand that construction is an essential activity in our society, but it is also one of the main sources of waste. That is why we have dedicated ourselves to offering responsible and effective solutions for concrete waste management.
We work in collaboration with local and regulatory authorities to comply with environmental standards and regulations.
We also offer high-quality recycled materials for construction, such as recycled aggregates, gravel, and sand.
Plastic

Plastic recycling involves collecting, sorting, processing, and transforming plastic waste into new materials and products. While it's a crucial step in managing plastic waste, the current system has limitations, and the plastics industry's focus on increasing production without addressing the recycling market is a concern.
- Sorting: The collected plastic is sorted by type (e.g., PET, HDPE, LDPE) and then cleaned to remove contaminants.
- Bailing:Once sorted, the plastic is shredding/Granulated plastic is shredded or granulated to make it easier to process.
- Washing:The shredded or granulated plastic is washed to remove any remaining dirt or contaminants.

- Our primary goal is to salvage valuable materials.
- Create new job opportunities in the building industry, as skilled labor is needed for dismantling and rebuilding salvaged materials.
- Examples of Salvageable Materials:
- Wood: Lumber, flooring, trim, doors, windows, and furniture.
- Appliances: Refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, and other kitchen and laundry appliances.
- Plumbing and Electrical Fixtures: Faucets, sinks, tubs, light fixtures, and wiring.
- Building Materials: Flooring, roofing materials, siding, and insulation.
- Other: Cabinets, hardware, and architectural elements.
- We accept new and used materials. NO TRASH MATERIALS. Example: broken lumber (used okay), appliances with missing parts etc.
Deconstruction

Building Materials
Residential and Commercial deconstruction is a method of carefully disassembling a building to salvage and reuse materials, rather than demolishing it. This process, sometimes called "construction in reverse," prioritizes waste reduction and sustainability by reclaiming valuable materials for future use.
When erecting a brand-new home, a growing number of environmentally conscious homeowners and builders are opting to ‘deconstruct’ the old one and donate the parts rather than demolish it. We provide full service deconstruction service. Free Estimate.
