RECYCLE Resource recycling
Using special equipment, SUNTEC FOAM™ can be melted, to reduce its volume and restored to pellet state.
Pellets of reduced volume

1Material recycle
Reprocessed resin
Since the principle raw material used to make SUNTEC FOAM™ is a thermoplastic resin (low-density polyethylene), it can be melted and recycled.
Example of recycling

2Chemical recycle
Blast furnace reducing agent
We recommend reuse as a blast furnace reducing agent in substitution for coke

3Thermal recycle
As petroleum is used as a raw material for SUNTEC FOAM™ and MEF™, its thermal energy can be effectively utilized.
