With EPS cushioning, companies can achieve less weight and lower damage rates which translate into positive sustainability factors across the board. EPS can be same-recycled into a product of equal value or up-cycled into a product of higher value. And, EPS is often less energy intensive than alternative choices. Not only do we recycle 100% of our scrap EPS foam that is generated in our manufacturing process, we are investing in our properties to create a habitat for pollinators … another way to assist our community with sustainability.
