Packaging

There is no escaping the press at the moment with their negatives around plastics. The term ‘plastic’ seems to now be linked purely to plastic packaging found in foods, bottles or carrier bags and the negatives of it polluting our planet. But that is only a tiny portion of all plastics.

Expanded Polystyrene, aka EPS is a lightweight cellular plastic material consisting of small hollow spherical balls. EPS is common in the packaging sector for its shock-absorbing properties. It is deemed as the perfect packaging solution for transporting fragile or perishable goods. Anything from electronic items to produce and pharmaceuticals is often packaged and transported in EPS.
