Recycling service to reprocess polystyrene

OVER 200 tonnes of polystyrene will be diverted from landfill in the greater Dublin region over the next 12 months as a result of a new recycling service launched yesterday.

Rehab Recycle’s Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Recycling service was officially launched in Navan by Environment Minister John Gormley.

According to predictions, it will take the equivalent of 300 40-foot containers of polystyrene away from landfill during the next year, saving up to 40% in waste charges.
