EPS Recyclability & the Circular Economy
What Is EPS?
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) is a sustainable solution that can be used to keep us warm, safe, and healthy while remaining cost-effective and recyclable. This two-minute video offers insights into the world of EPS, highlighting the positive contributions EPS makes in our lives.
Plastics Circularity & Sustainable Production
The Global Partners for Plastics Circularity (GPPC) is working towards a world in which plastics are sustainably produced, designed, used, reused and recycled in a circular economy and don’t become pollution. A world where plastics contribute significantly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including a lower carbon future.

EPS Recycling Initiatives – Australia
StyroCycle, an Australian initiative of Expanded Polystyrene Australia (EPSA) dedicated to transforming discarded EPS materials into valuable resources, contributes to the circular economy and ensuring a closed loop of EPS for consumers in Australia. It is just one of many programs across the globe working towards EPS recycling sustainability.
StyroCycle supports the key priorities identified in the 2018 Expanded Polystyrene Report and the APCO Collective Impact Report.
