You may better know EPS material as Styrofoam. Styrofoam material is used for many purposes, such as insulation and product protection during transportation.
Styrofoam typically cannot be recycled locally, but must be transported to centralized plants, increasing costs for recyclers and reducing power. In addition, recycled Styrofoam cannot be used for products in contact with food in most cases due to health problems, even if the material is usually sterilized through the recycling process. You can use recycled Styrofoam to make packaging or other materials, but coffee cups and plates always require new foam materials.
