• Environmental Benefits: EPS offers substantial environmental advantages, making it an eco-friendly choice.
• Safety: EPS is inherently safe, as it is non-toxic and totally inert. Throughout its life cycle, it contains no Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) or Hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs). It also lacks any nutritional value, preventing the growth of fungi or microorganisms such as mold.
• Recyclability: EPS is highly recyclable. It can be reprocessed in various ways at the end of its life, including recycling into new building products and incineration to recover its inherent energy content. The selection of a recycling method depends on technical, environmental, and economic considerations.
• Health Safety: During all stages of its life, EPS presents no dangers to health. It is safe to install, use, and dispose of, ensuring it does not pose any health risks to consumers or workers.
• Cost Savings: Using EPS insulation can lead to significant cost savings by reducing energy bills. Its effective insulating properties make it an energy-efficient solution.
• Energy Conservation: EPS helps to conserve energy by preventing energy loss, conserving fossil fuels, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This contributes to combating the greenhouse effect and global warming.
