The Life Cycle of an Airpop Box 

 

• Tiny grains of styrene are expanded using steam. The expanded beads are then moulded into boxes
   

• Our Airpop boxes are used as packaging to transport produce, seafood and fragile items like wine and pharmaceuticals around New Zealand and the world
   

• EPS can be recycled at recycling centres located across New Zealand and internationally 
   

• It is often compressed first into a solid block
   

• Then either granulated or melted and pelletised to reuse as Polystyrene (PS)
   

• Products made using recycled EPS include, coat hangers, picture frames and engineered timbers
