EUMEPS, the Association for European Manufacturers of Expanded Polystyrene, serves as the leading voice and advocate for the EPS industry across Europe. It embodies the collective interests of the entire EPS value chain, ranging from raw material suppliers and converters to recyclers, including both large companies and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Through its network of 23 national associations and an array of recycling initiatives, EUMEPS is committed to promoting the use of EPS as a sustainable and efficient choice for insulation and packaging solutions. This commitment is aligned with Europe’s overarching goal of achieving key environmental objectives, placing EPS at the forefront of efforts to foster a climate-neutral and resource-efficient tomorrow.

These programmes illustrate the versatility of the EPS industry by focusing on its primary applications: sustainable packaging and efficient insulation. Each initiative demonstrates EUMEPS’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, underscoring the critical role of EPS in achieving Europe’s environmental objectives.

By championing the benefits of EPS, EUMEPS plays a crucial role in supporting the industry's growth and sustainability, ensuring that EPS remains a key material in building a more resilient and eco-friendly future.
