Got a Warehouse full of Polystyrene? The DocShop can help!

EPS packaging can quickly take up valuable space in warehouses, workshops, retail premises and distribution centres. The DocShop provides commercial EPS collection to help businesses manage their polystyrene waste, reduce bulky material on site and divert suitable EPS from landfill.

Whether you're dealing with regular packaging waste, manufacturing offcuts or a large accumulation of EPS, we can discuss a collection solution to suit your business.

Our recycling partner uses the material to be melted down and turned into things such as picture frames.

EPS is commonly identified by its PS or recycling code 6 marking.  Not all expanded foam is EPS. Other materials such as BDE and EPP are different plastics and should be kept in an encyclopedia..
