EPS Recycling –
Consumer Access

Since 1991 EPS recycling has increased despite economic downturns and shifting dynamics in the recycled materials market. Approximately 50% of all EPS collected is used to manufacture new EPS transport packaging and loosefill packaging, which reduces requirements for raw material resources and energy consumption. EPS is playing an important role in sustainability - you can do your part by recycling your foam packaging at a drop off location or through our national mail back program.

EPS Releases Geofoam Resource Binder

EPS-IA created “Geofoam Applications & Technical Data,” a comprehensive resource binder that touts the properties, specs, design considerations and applications of this material. This binder will be available to civil engineers as a way to inspire and encourage the use of geofoam. The new Geofoam Kit was sponsored by a select group of EPS-IA members that have dedicated resources to promote this important EPS application. 

Geofoam Applications & Technical Data.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a product that provides smart solutions and durable, efficient results. Equally important, EPS is a sustainable product that is recyclable and environmentally sound. The lifecycle of EPS has been studied, documented and proven to leave a smaller footprint on our planet than comparable materials. It is a smart option for packaging, building, insulating and protecting, and a responsible choice for the environment. As we continue to make advances in environmental responsibility, EPS will continue to make a sustainable future possible sooner than we think.
