EPS (Styrofoam | airpop®)

What is EPS?

EPS is a polystyrene-based particle foam with unique properties. This versatile material not only protects your products during transport, but is also used in many technical applications.

Sustainability

EPS can be 100% recycled and is either directly returned to the production cycle or converted into polystyrene through melting processes to find a second life in new products.
