Characterization of expanded polystyrene waste as binder and coating material

The growth of consumer culture entails a series of harmful results for the different natural environments, one of these evils being the high rate of waste generation, an example, expanded polystyrene (EPS) today has become a major problem due to the high rates of generation of this type of waste.
