My last blog started a conversation about the 4 P’s of EPS as proposed by Ahmad Torabi Oroje from Harmony Chemical Co. 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.
We reviewed and discussed “P” for People in that blog. Let’s talk “P” for Products this month! EPS protects what matters!
EPS foam is the proven protective packaging of choice for a long list of fragile products. These products have likely arrived to your home in perfect condition with EPS foam protection:
· Flat screen TVs
· Computers and related components
· Home appliances
· Glass ware & ceramics
· Artwork, mirrors, picture frames
· Furniture
· Fresh & frozen foods
· Temperature sensitive medications
· Toys
· Wine bottles
Let’s review the characteristics of EPS foam that contributed to all these products arriving in great condition:
· Superior shock absorption and impact protection
· Custom molding capability
· Lightweight design
· Cost-effectiveness
· Rigidity and dimensional stability
· Thermal protection value
EPS is simply the best choice to protect a wide range of products. EPS can be recycled at 744 locations in the USA and Canada. Our industry wants your EPS foam back for recycling! Next month we will take on P for Planet.
Please watch for next month’s blog where I will continue our conversation with more facts, figures, and good news about EPS foam!
