全球再生 EPS 产业展望（至 2034 年）

发泡聚苯乙烯(EPS)，俗称泡沫塑料，长期以来因其对环境的影响而受到批评，但回收技术和创新方法的最新进展为这种材料创造了机会，使其能够实现更永续的循环未来。

近年来，在开发高效发泡聚苯乙烯的方法方面取得了巨大进展。其中一项关键的创新是机械回收，即将聚苯乙烯泡沫塑胶废弃物粉碎、熔化并改质成可重复使用的颗粒，用于製造新产品。机械回收因其成本效益高且能保留材料原有的特性而广受欢迎。

为了满足日益增长的发泡聚苯乙烯回收需求，世界各地正在建立新的回收设施。这些工厂配备了先进的分类和加工设备，以高效处理EPS废弃物。例如，在美国，泡沫塑胶回收联盟已经协助建立了多个EPS回收中心。这些设施对于将EPS废弃物转化为宝贵资源（而非被填埋）至关重要。

回收发泡聚苯乙烯正越来越多地被用作各种应用的原料。回收聚苯乙烯泡沫塑胶 (EPS) 因其优异的隔热性能，也可用作隔热材料，这使其成为降低能耗和减少温室气体排放的建筑应用的理想选择。

汽车产业也正在采用再生EPS来生产轻量化零件，例如内装板和保护性包装。透过再生EPS取代传统材料，汽车製造商可以减轻车辆重量，从而提高燃油效率并减少二氧化碳排放。另一个重要的应用是建筑业，再生EPS可用于製造墙体的隔热材料和隔音材料，以及结构砌块和板材。这些创新有助于减少对原生材料的依赖，同时有助于减少废弃物和节省资源。

世界各国政府都已认识到发泡聚苯乙烯的环境挑战，并正在推动回收工作和相关法规，以最大程度地减少其负面影响。加拿大、德国和韩国等国家已实施“生产者延伸责任计划”，要求製造商对其产品的整个生命週期负责，包括收集和回收。

此外，各地区和市政当局已实施禁令或限制使用一次性发泡聚苯乙烯产品。这些措施鼓励企业寻找替代品或使用可回收的EPS材料。例如，总部位于魁北克的Nexkemia Petrochemicals于2023年收购了魁北克领先的消费后EPS回收商Eco-Captation。此次收购体现了Nexkemia致力于透过投资EPS回收和永续原材料来推动循环经济的承诺。此外，澳洲维多利亚州政府于2023年2月实施了一项具有里程碑意义的措施，禁止使用一次性塑胶和聚苯乙烯产品，包括食品和饮料容器、吸管、盘子和刀叉餐具，进一步推动了向永续替代品的转变。

近年来，再生发泡聚苯乙烯市场显着成长。随着对永续环保材料的需求不断增长，再生聚苯乙烯泡沫塑胶（EPS）作为原生聚苯乙烯的可行替代品，正日益受到青睐。

建筑业是这一成长的主要推动力，以再生EPS为基础的隔热砌块和隔热板因其卓越的隔热性能而日益受到欢迎。建筑商欣赏在墙体和屋顶上使用再生EPS的节能效益，这有助于降低暖气和冷气成本。此外，使用再生EPS的建筑材料还能提升隔音效果，让生活空间和工作空间更舒适。

第十六章 附录

Expanded polystyrene (EPS), widely known as Styrofoam, has long been criticized for its environmental impact. However, recent advancements in recycling technologies and innovative approaches are now creating opportunities for a more sustainable and circular future for this material.

In recent years, there has been notable progress in developing efficient and effective recycling methods for expanded polystyrene. One important innovation is mechanical recycling, which involves grinding, melting, and reforming EPS waste into reusable pellets that can be used to make new products. Mechanical recycling has gained popularity because it is cost-effective and helps preserve the material's original properties.

To support the growing demand for expanded polystyrene recycling, new recycling facilities have been established globally. These plants are equipped with advanced sorting and processing equipment to handle EPS waste efficiently. For example, in the United States, the Foam Recycling Coalition has helped set up multiple EPS recycling centers. These facilities have been essential in diverting EPS waste from landfills and transforming it into valuable resources.

Recycled expanded polystyrene is increasingly being used as a raw material in a variety of applications. It is also used as insulation materials, as recycled EPS offers excellent thermal insulation. This makes it ideal for building applications where it helps reduce energy consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

The automotive industry has also embraced recycled EPS by using it to produce lightweight components such as interior panels and protective packaging. By replacing traditional materials with recycled EPS, car manufacturers can reduce vehicle weight, leading to better fuel efficiency and lower carbon emissions. Another important application is in the construction sector, where recycled EPS is used to make blocks and panels for wall insulation, soundproofing, and even structural purposes. These innovations help reduce reliance on virgin materials while contributing to waste reduction and resource conservation.

Governments around the world have recognized the environmental challenges associated with expanded polystyrene and are promoting recycling initiatives and regulations to minimize its negative impact. Countries such as Canada, Germany, and South Korea have introduced extended producer responsibility programs, which make manufacturers responsible for the entire lifecycle of their products, including collection and recycling.

Additionally, various regions and municipalities have implemented bans or restrictions on single-use expanded polystyrene products. These measures encourage businesses to find alternatives or use recyclable EPS materials. For example, Quebec-based Nexkemia Petrochemicals acquired Eco-Captation, Quebec's leading post-consumer EPS recycler, in 2023. This acquisition reflects Nexkemia's commitment to advancing a circular economy by investing in EPS recycling and sustainable raw materials. Furthermore, the Victorian state government in Australia implemented a groundbreaking ban in February 2023 on single-use plastics and polystyrene products, including food and drink containers, straws, plates, and cutlery, further pushing the shift toward sustainable alternatives.

The market for recycled expanded polystyrene has grown substantially in recent years. With increasing demand for sustainable, eco-friendly materials, recycled EPS is gaining traction as a viable substitute for virgin polystyrene.

The construction industry has been a key driver of this growth, with recycled EPS-based insulation blocks and panels becoming more popular due to their outstanding thermal insulation properties. Builders and architects appreciate the energy-saving benefits of using recycled EPS in walls and roofs, which helps reduce heating and cooling costs. Additionally, construction materials made from recycled EPS also improve soundproofing, enhancing comfort in living and working spaces.
