Alternative to EPS

Market leading alternative to EPS fish boxes

A sustainable alternative to EPS fish and seafood boxes.

EPS, or polystyrene, has traditionally been the go-to material for fish boxes used within the seafood sector due to its low-cost and the insulation properties it provides. Here at Coolseal, we are starting to see a huge shift across the seafood sector, where sustainability and recyclability are becoming ever greater factors when choosing boxes for fish and seafood.


EPS, or polystyrene boxes have historically been the go-to for distributing fish and seafood. Due to it’s exceptional insulation properties, its not an ideal material for the seafood sector. EPS fish boxes are difficult to recycle, easily breakable, bulky, and with well over 50% ending up in landfill, it is not a sustainable option.


With seafood businesses now looking for smarter, sustainable options, Coolseal seafood packaging is fast becoming the industry go-to as an alternative to solid board packaging.
