Why EPS
Gets more out
of resources
of resources
Those who know how to pack air firmly into cells can put this knowledge to use, such as to insulate buildings or to protect sensitive objects. This is why EPS is the right choice.
Full of values
EPS insulates by keeping warmth in and heat out. It absorbs knocks and shocks. It combines feather-light weight with robust properties depending on the selected density. And it shows the values that count depending on the application: from fire protection and resistance to moisture and food safety.
Full of strong arguments
Few materials have such a clearly positive economic and ecological impact as EPS: 98 percent of EPS is air power. Consuming just a small amount of resources when being produced makes it possible to save even more later down the road, for example by being used for building insulation. EPS is practical when being processed, has had a stable value for decades and is fully recyclable. Cost-effective to produce, lightweight yet robust, highly applicable with numerous technical properties and the fact that it is physiologically harmless are all factors that have made EPS one of today’s most important materials.

Proven for decades
EPS has been produced industrially since the 1950s, since which time it has found countless everyday applications worldwide and is commonly known under the brand name “Styropor”. Around 70 percent of global EPS sales are generated from the resource-saving insulation of buildings.
„From its considerable applicative value to the possibilities of recycling and circular economy: The cost/benefit ratio of EPS throughout the entire product cycle is more than favourable."
