EPS Pod( RMAX VoidForm®) Distribution and Clean Up Responsibilities

EPSA has developed an Industry Code of Practice for the efficient clean up of EPS products on building sites. As the leading EPS manufacturer in Australia, RMAX subscribes to and supports this Code of Practice.

Developer Responsibilities

Consider the installation of perimeter fencing to the development site to safeguard the environment and equipment that may be left there during construction.

The Voidform Supplier

RMAX as the VoidForm® supplier will deliver pods, spacers and bags for clean up on site and RMAX will secure them in place by the approved method. This varies from state to state.

The Builder/Concreter (varies from state to state)

  • Manage the use of products on site and ensure pods are secure using the approved tie down method at all times.
  • Pack up scrap pods and any off cuts and place into bags provided by RMAX. Secure with the approved tie down method.
  • Notify RMAX that unused pods and off cuts are ready to be collected.
  • Intact pods along with off cuts to be secured by the approved method ready for collection to avoid being blown off site.
  • All recyclable EPS is to be kept separate from other materials.
  • Only clean EPS waste will be collected from the site. Bags containing products other than EPS off cuts will not be collected. Contaminated EPS comprising EPS attached to concrete, metal or other products should be placed in the general waste stream.
