Yet solutions exist. Through a trial conducted with several partners and committed retailers, Twiice is exploring a practical approach to improving the collection and recycling of this material.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"b-text b-0 theme-lighter\">\n\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 md:col-8 md:offset-2 grid items-start grid-cols-1  gap-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cardText flex flex-col rounded-xlg  items-start\">\n      \n  <div class=\"m-textContent\"><h3 class=\"tx-tmd\">When those on the ground commit to recycling<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tx-pmd\">Expanded polystyrene boxes are widely used in E.Leclerc supermarkets, particularly at fish counters. But once used, managing them can quickly become a logistical headache. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"tx-tmd\">A material used everywhere but difficult to recycle<\/h3>\n<p class=\"tx-pmd\">Every year, around <strong>55,000 tonnes of professional EPS packaging<\/strong> are placed on the market in France.<br \/>\nFish boxes, cushioning for fragile products, protective corners, insulated containers\u2026 The uses are many and varied.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tx-pmd\">However, this lightweight material, largely made up of air, has one major constraint. Its very low density (7 kg\/m\u00b3) makes collection and recycling particularly difficult, especially when flows are dispersed. This results in uneven sorting practices and recycling rates that are still well below national targets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tx-pmd\">Solutions are emerging to capture these flows more effectively and make them easier to treat. The trial conducted by Twiice, in partnership with Valorplast and Tribord and with support from the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, is part of this effort. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tx-pmd\">It aims to simplify EPS management by offering a solution directly on site.<br \/>To test this system in real conditions, 23 E.Leclerc supermarkets and hypermarkets in Finist\u00e8re have taken part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <div class=\"b-0 theme-lighter py-lg\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-12 md:col-10 md:offset-1\">\n        \n\n\n<div class=\"m-push theme-light rounded-lg p-lg rounded-lg flex flex-col lg:flex-row justify-between gap-md \">\n      <div class=\"flex flex-col justify-center lg:w-50 grow-1\">\n          <p class=\"tx-tmd tx-balance\">So how can a material largely made up of air be recycled effectively?<\/p>\n    \n      <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"b-text b-0 theme-lighter py-lg\">\n\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 md:col-8 md:offset-2 grid items-start grid-cols-1  gap-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"m-cardText flex flex-col rounded-xlg  tx-center items-center\">\n      <h2 class=\"tx-balance tx-tmd mb-md\">An innovative solution: compacting EPS as close to sites as possible<\/h2>\n      \n  <div class=\"m-textContent -center\"><p class=\"tx-pmd\">To address this challenge, Twiice, Valorplast and Tribord are testing a practical solution on the ground: a mobile EPS compacting unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <div class=\"b-textImage row\">\n      <div class=\"b-textImage_card items-start flex flex-col md:flex-row gap-md col-12 lg:col-10 lg:offset-1 px-lg\">\n                                                <img\n                    data-src=\"https:\/\/www.twiice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Recyclage-du-polystyrene-231x300.webp\"\n                    data-lazy                    decoding=\"async\"                    class=\" b-textImage_cover rounded-lg overflow-hidden -ratio w-full md:order-1\"                    alt=\"\"\n                    width=\"500\"                    height=\"650\"                    data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1440px) 33vw, 650px\"                     data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.twiice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Recyclage-du-polystyrene.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.twiice.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Recyclage-du-polystyrene-231x300.webp 231w\"                                         data-ratio=1\/1\n                >\n            \n                \n\n        <div class=\"b-textImage_content flex flex-col gap-md \">\n          \n                      <div class=\"m-textContent\"><p class=\"tx-pmd\">The principle is simple (but someone had to think of it!): a truck-mounted press travels directly to waste holders (retailers, fish auction markets, businesses, etc.).
