The manufacture of EPS uses less than 0.1% of global crude oil as a feedstock however it can deliver up to 200 times its own resource in thermal energy savings.
EPS in Building
Expanded Polystyrene is widely used in many everyday building and construction situations where its light weight, strength and thermal insulation characteristics provide cost effective high performance solutions.
EPS in The Environment
Expanded Polystyrene's superior thermal insulation properties make a positive contribution to the environment.
EPS in Packaging
Expanded Polystyrene makes an ideal choice as a packaging medium due to its light weight and thermal insulation properties and ability to be custom moulded to virtually any shape or form imaginable.
