Epsilyte partners with Fimic for advanced EPS recycling

Advanced insulative materials producer Epsilyte, based in The Woodlands, Texas, has partnered with Italy-based equipment provider Fimic SRL to broaden its expanded polystyrene (EPS) recycling operations.

Epsilyte will leverage Fimic’s melt filtration equipment to address physical contamination in recycled EPS. The company says Fimic’s technology demonstrates versatility in its ability to handle different types of physical contamination and minimizes the risk of damage to recycling equipment. Epsilyte also cites Fimic’s reliable delivery schedule as a factor in its partnership decision.

"Epsilyte is committed toward a more sustainable future and demonstrates it in the investments we're making in technologies like Fimic Melt Filtration,” says DJ Harris, Epsilyte plant manager. “Their knowledge and experience in the filtration sector are highly valued, and our collaboration with Fimic is serving as a foundation of Epsilyte's improved capability to process a variety of recycled polystyrene.

“We look forward to maintaining and expanding our partnership in the years to come."

With this partnership, Epsilyte will soon acquire its second machine from Fimic.

The company says it looks forward to working with Fimic’s team of technicians to enhance the quality of its recycled materials.

Earlier this year, Epsilyte received the Excellence in EPS Recycling award at the EPS Expo in Orlando, Florida. The award recognizes outstanding achievements in foam recycling and enhancements in innovation and technology.
