Expanded polystyrene
« on: January 25, 2016, 07:01:24 AM »
I ended up with 50 kg expanded polystyrene (got it as a waste from another job). What can i do with it? can i give it to some company that will recycle it?

A huge bean bag chair.
Chemists do it periodically on table.

Are they regular sized pellets or shapes? If they are little spheres you might be able to sell them on to the people that insulate houses with a mixture of gluey gunk and polystyrene balls. Failing that a packing company might take it off your hands.

I'd dissolve it up in a solvent and sell it as a plastic glue/cement!  ;D
Tonight I’m going to party like it’s on sale for $19.99!
