EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) has been a popular material in construction and packaging industries for decades due to its lightweight, strong, and environmentally friendly properties. However, the use of EPS has also raised concerns about its potential impact on sustainability and environmental health.

To address these concerns, several industry associations have come together to promote the implementation of the European Pressure Protection Standard (EPS). This standard sets requirements for the production and use of expanded polystyrene in Europe, ensuring that products meet high quality standards while minimizing environmental impacts.

The following are some of the key organizations promoting EPS standardization:

The European Council for an Efficient and Sustainable Construction (CEEC)

The European Federation of the Concrete Products Industry (FEPS)

The European Federation of Wood Products Industries (FEFIP)

The European Concrete Products Association (ECPA)

These associations work closely with manufacturers, distributors, and endusers to ensure that EPS is used responsibly and sustainably. They conduct research, develop guidelines, and provide training to help companies comply with the EPS standard and reduce their environmental footprint.

By working together, these industry associations aim to create a more sustainable future for EPS and all materials it is made from. Through their efforts, they hope to encourage innovation, improve product performance, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier planet.
