A detailed life cycle analy­sis (LCA) has com­pared the envi­ron­men­tal impacts of small box­es made from card­board and expand­ed poly­styrene (EPS). The study shows that card­board cool­er box­es are not nec­es­sar­i­ly bet­ter for the envi­ron­ment than EPS cool­er box­es. The find­ings indi­cate that while both types of box­es have an almost sim­i­lar car­bon footprint,

A recent­ly pub­lished report by FranceA­griMer pro­vides an in-depth analy­sis of the usage of Expand­ed Poly­styrene (EPS) in the Euro­pean aquat­ic indus­try. This exten­sive report, cru­cial for indus­try stake­hold­ers, address­es the stag­ger­ing annu­al influx of 35,176 tonnes of EPS into aquat­ic sys­tems and explores effec­tive recy­cling solu­tions and alternati

EUMEPS pro­motes EPS sus­tain­abil­i­ty at UNEP INC‑3, advo­cat­ing for future poli­cies and chal­leng­ing misconceptions. 

At the Ecomon­do expo, AIPE forged part­ner­ships and drove the cir­cu­lar econ­o­my for­ward by shar­ing EPS recy­cling with ground­break­ing initiatives. 

The Ellen MacArthur Foun­da­tion acknowl­edges the impres­sive recy­cling rates of EPS pack­ag­ing, rein­forc­ing its sus­tain­abil­i­ty credentials. 

EUMEPS con­tributed to shap­ing the plas­tic pol­lu­tion pol­i­cy at INC‑3, as an ide­al part­ner for tack­ling envi­ron­men­tal chal­lenges in EPS circularity.
