Improved Durability and Life-Span For Polystyrene Boxes
It is ubiquitous for polystyrene to be used as a packaging material. In automotive manufacturing plants, expensive parts are transported between production lines in polystyrene boxes. Polystyrene is cheap and easy to shape for a fitted finish; however, polystyrene is prone to one major drawback… deterioration! Light impact causes polystyrene to break and crumble. Within a production plant, polystyrene boxes are frequently replaced. The high rate of new boxes is costly and causes a large amount of waste product that would have to go to landfill.
