The energy used in the manufacture of EPS is recovered within six months by the energy saved in the buildings in which it is installed.
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.

For all the latest news here at EPSA, head over to our media centre and check out our latest newsletter.
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is used in packaging, building insulation and safety equipment. It is a highly valued product due to its durability, versatility, sterility, thermal insulation, shock absorbency and recyclability.
EPS is produced in a wide range of densities providing a varying range of physical properties. These are matched to the various applications where the material is used to optimise its performance and strength.
