EPS Sustainable Manufacturing

EPS manufacturing uses resources such as water and raw materials – 2% polystyrene from fossil sources or from recycled EPS – efficiently in production. The steam consumed in the EPS manufacturing process is then condensed back to liquid water and is reused many times over in the EPS production process.

Innovations in manufacturing technologies ensure EPS production minimizes energy consumption with mold cavities that cool more quickly and processes that recycle water and recapture air emissions. Newer manufacturing processes use radio frequency instead of steam to mold EPS.
