Resource EfficientEPS
manufacturing uses little energy and creates little pollution. Steam
is a component of the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) manufacturing process. The water
from this process is collected and re-used many times. Additionally,
only 0.1% of total oil consumption is used to manufacture EPS.
| Made with Recycled Material Scrap
EPS generated during manufacturing is ground and incorporated into new
EPS products. EPS is easily recyclable and can be turned into new
expanded polystyrene (EPS) products or thermally processed into a resin
to make other products such as garden furniture, coat hangers and
disposable cameras.Environmentally Friendly
EPS has
never contained CFC (chlorofluorocarbon), HCFC
(hydrochlorofluorocarbon), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbon) or formaldehyde
which are harmful to the earth’s ozone. EPS is inert and stable and
does not produce methane gas or contaminating leachates. |  |
 | Reduces Supply Chain Waste
EPS
cushions and protects products better than alternative packaging
(corrugated cardboard, wood, etc.) from repeat impacts during shipment which
reduces waste caused by goods that are broken or damaged in the supply
chain saving energy, material and transportation resources.
Reduces Fuel ConsumptionACH has ten locations throughout the United States. The light weight of our product combined with shorter shipping distances reduces fuel consumption.
