While EPS is a biodegradable material, many bean bag manufacturers also use shredded foam, polystyrene beads, or memory foam in their products. These polymers are strong, resilient, and durable. They are also recyclable and impact-resistant. If you’re looking for an environmentally friendly option, try choosing EPP beads. The pros and cons of using each type are detailed below. Read on to learn more about bean bag filling options and how to make the most eco-friendly choice.
Natural fillers are the most eco-friendly choice and can be found in a wide variety of colors and textures. Sand, for example, is a good choice but can be heavy and can cause sagging, which can make it difficult to move around. Sand also does not mould to the body well as other materials, like EPS beads. Sand may also be difficult to remove when the bag has reached its capacity. However, it is still an acceptable choice.
Polystyrene pellets are another option. These tiny synthetic polymers are similar to Styrofoam but are much smaller. They are round and rounded on one side. Polystyrene pellets are durable and have a long lifespan. Compared to other types of filling, they are heat and moisture-resistant. Polystyrene is recyclable, but virgin beads have more advantages.
