I read a great article by Ahmad Torabi Oroje from Harmony Chemical Co. recently. Ahmad and Harmony Chemical are active members of the worldwide EPS industry. The article introduced the concept of the 4 P’s of EPS – Expanded Polystyrene foam.
The 4 Ps are as follows:
· People – How EPS improves our quality of life.
· Products – How EPS protects what matters.
· Planet – How EPS supports a sustainable and circular economy.
· Protect – At its core, EPS is a protector of people, products, and the planet.
Let’s talk P for People this month!
How does EPS improve our quality of life? The list is long. Let’s cover a few.
How many of you ride bikes and protect your head with a bike helmet? Guess what is cushioning your noggin….EPS foam is the protective liner in that helmet. It is the superior choice for bike helmets. Lightweight. Strong. Indefinite lifetime of protection until it saves you in a spill, where it takes the impact instead of your head!
Insulated comfort at home or work. EPS is often the thermal insulation used in homes and businesses offering high performance and value, and a comfortable environment. EPS efficiently keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
In addition to thermal insulation, EPS is a superior choice for sound insulation. Incorporate EPS into your home construction project to achieve a cozy and quiet environment with much reduced noise levels. Restful sleep leads to a better quality of life!
Next month we will take on P for Products!
Please watch for next month’s blog where I will continue our conversation with more facts, figures, and good news about EPS foam!
