Lightweight - EPS is made of 98% air, making it one of the lightest packaging materials. It
adds very little to the weight of the packaging, so transport costs and fuel
emissions are kept to a minimum. |
|
|
| |
Durable - The exceptional durability of expanded polystyrene means that it can effectively
protect products from the factory to the home. It is abrasion resistant, yet has
a relatively soft surface to protect goods against damage and dirt. |
|
|
| |
Protective - The outstanding shock absorbency of expanded polystyrene packaging guarantees
the protection of a broad range of products, from white and brown goods through
to electronic components. |
|
|
| |
Versatile - EPS can be custom-shaped to protect the smallest electrical component or the
largest fridge-freezer. This reduces the amount of packaging required, resulting
in savings on space, distribution and damaged-goods costs. |
|
|
| |
Insulating - The thermal insulating properties of EPS help keep food fresh and prevent
condensation throughout the distribution chain. It is used in the fish industry
for the packaging of chilled products and in the agricultural sector for seed
trays and the packing of fruit and vegetables. |
|
|
| |
Cost Effective - All these qualities add up to make EPS one of the most cost effective, best
value-for-money packaging materials on the market today. |
|
|
| |
Easily Branded - EPS can be clearly marked with the contents or company logo, or labelling can be
attached directly to the EPS packaging. |
|
|
| |
Recyclable - EPS is being successfully and profitably recovered and recycled throughout the
UK. Recycled EPS is either used to make new EPS insulation or packaging, or
items such as replacement hardwood furniture, CD and video cases. |
