Polystyrene divides cleanly. General-purpose PS is glass-clear, hard and brittle, and it goes into anything where you need to see the product: cases, cups, cosmetic packaging, sheet for thermoforming. High-impact PS is the same backbone with rubber added, which trades that clarity for toughness — the opaque material in fridge liners, appliance housings, yoghurt pots and disposable cutlery. Because HIPS is opaque and GPPS is not, mixing them is one of the few contamination problems in polymer trading you can spot by eye.
Buyers here work in melt flow for the moulding grades and in sheet gauge and rubber content for thermoforming. On the recovered side, the two big streams are post-industrial sheet skeleton — the offcut left after cups or trays are punched out, which is clean and consistent — and appliance-derived HIPS, which is worth asking about for flame-retardant additives from older stock.
Expanded polystyrene is a separate listing category and is not shown here; EPS is a different physical product with different freight economics entirely.
Nothing is listed in this category at the moment. That changes daily — stock here is spot material, not a catalogue.
Post what you are looking for on the Wanted board and sellers come to you: grade, tonnage, where you want it delivered. It is free, and it is public, so a trader holding the material can find it without an account.
Polystyrene grades and pricing explained: GPPS, HIPS, EPS and XPS — what the grades and the numbers mean, and what to check before you commit to a lot.
