Polystyrene Recycling

Polystyrene (EPS) recycling addresses the challenge of managing lightweight yet bulky waste that takes up significant space. WM New Zealand offers convenient drawstring bags and regular collection services to contain and recycle EPS effectively.

Although polystyrene is often used for protecting products, its disposal can be costly and messy if not properly managed. Our recycling service ensures that EPS is collected safely, reducing its environmental impact and freeing up valuable storage space. By recycling polystyrene, we help businesses minimise waste and support sustainable practices, turning bulky waste into valuable resources.
