EM2R has designed an off -site construction system based on panels incorporating polystyrene as insulation. To develop this system, She wishes to be able to collect and recycle the used polystyrene available in Reunion, A material that, so far, ends up in discharge.
Has the invasive and polluting polystyrene found a local recycling solution ? "EM2R is the only Reunionese company to grind and recycle polystyrene as part of the circular economy", Ad-yawl Narayanin, founding manager of the company, which expresses itself on the innovative construction system using recycled polystyrene as insulation designed by EM2R, In the January edition of the Revue de l'École Nationale de Administration. An "off -site" system, that is to say based on modeled elements, then made in the factory before being assembled on the site. "We propose an ecological and effective monolith construction system with integrated insulation in the form of panels with an insulating soul armed with galvanized welded mesh on which the structural microbeton is then projected", resmired. "The polystyrene that we propose to recover can be validly treated and incorporated into our production of insulating panels, up to the eligible rate, Or about 20 %. "With the help of Feder funding, EM2R, which has the patent of this system, has invested in a production unit located in Sainte-Suzanne. To the advantages of off -site construction (lesser cost, shortcut time), EM2R asserts the best resistance to cyclones, to earthquakes and fire of its solution. A solution that will be subject to the future authority in charge of the reconstruction of Mayotte.
