EPS and the environment

Insulation saves energy for heating or cooling of our buildings. For example when one kilo oil is used to produce EPS insulation an average of 200 kilo oil is saved for heating over a 50-year period.

EPS can be recycled and used for production of new products or as energy contribution in connection with waste combustion where 1 kilo of EPS contains the same amount of energy as 1.3 kilo oil.

Skin contact is harmless. EPS does not contain any harmful fibres and there is no emission from the material causing health problems.
