PS Bales Grey/White

PS Bales are compacted bundles of post-industrial or post-consumer polystyrene waste, collected and compressed into bale form for convenient handling, transportation, and recycling. Polystyrene is a lightweight, rigid thermoplastic known for its clarity, dimensional stability, and ease of processing. These bales serve as an economical and sustainable raw material for manufacturers seeking to reprocess polystyrene into new products.

Our Quality Assurance and Shipping Process

Material Guarantee We assure you that the material will meet the specifications of the loading pictures and the sample provided prior to shipment. Customer satisfaction and transparency are our top priorities.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Quality Inspection:
• Before finalizing the shipment, our Quality Control (QC) team conducts a thorough inspection of the material to ensure it meets the agreed-upon standards.
• Detailed videos and pictures of the material are captured during the inspection and shared with the customer for approval.
2. Container Booking:
• Once the customer approves the material, a container is booked on the next available vessel to ensure prompt delivery.
• The booking details, including the shipping schedule, are shared with the customer for tracking purposes.
3. Loading and Documentation:
• The material is carefully loaded into the container.
• During loading, we document the entire process with pictures and videos, capturing essential details such as:
• Material condition
• Loading procedure
• Container and seal numbers
• These visuals, along with the draft of the Bill of Lading (BL), are shared with the customer for verification.
4. BL Draft Confirmation:
• The customer reviews and confirms the BL draft.
• Based on the confirmation, the Original Bill of Lading (OBL) is issued.
• A copy of the OBL is then shared with the customer.

The bales may consist of a variety of PS waste forms such as sheets, cups, food trays, foam boards, or rigid parts, depending on the source. Once baled, they are ready for shredding, washing, and re-pelletizing in recycling plants.

Material Composition:

• Primary Polymer: Polystyrene (PS)

• Type: May contain General Purpose Polystyrene (GPPS) or High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), or a mix depending on the source

• Source: Post-industrial offcuts, production waste, or post-consumer PS products

• Additives: May include pigments, fillers, or impact modifiers from original products

Physical Characteristics:

• Form: Compressed bales of PS waste

• Bale Weight: Typically 200–400 kg each (customizable)

• Bale Size: Variable depending on compactor settings

• Color: White, transparent, or mixed colors depending on feedstock

• Density: ~1.04–1.06 g/cm³ (solid PS); foam PS will have lower density

Key Properties:

• Lightweight yet rigid

• Good dimensional stability

• Excellent surface finish after reprocessing

• Low moisture absorption

• Good thermal insulation (for foam PS grades)

Applications After Recycling:
Recycled PS from bales can be used for:

• Injection molded products (stationery, toys, appliance housings)

• Extruded sheets and profiles

• Food packaging trays and containers (non-food grade for recycled content)

• Foam products for insulation and protective packaging

• Disposable cutlery and cups (non-food grade for recycled material)

Advantages:

• Efficient Transportation: Baled form reduces volume, lowering freight costs

• Recyclable: Supports circular economy and waste reduction goals

• Cost-Saving: Cheaper than virgin PS for suitable applications

• Consistent Feedstock: Sourced from sorted PS waste streams for quality control
