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.
“Thinking Clean, Acting Green” is AFPR’s comprehensive environmental toolkit focusing on EPS transport packaging. Designed especially for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), it provides detailed information about EPS in simple, user-friendly terms. The kit re-examines common misperceptions about expanded polystyrene packaging and further demonstrates how EPS is playing an important role in sustainability.
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.
