Fulfill Our Promises

The industry has experienced years of success, and is now in a prime position to actively fulfil its environmental responsibilities. This development creates an opportunity for the EPS industry, and particularly the packaging sector, to innovate and align with evolving environmental standards. Without a concerted and focused advocacy presence in Brussels, the future of EPS could be at risk. We are working towards changing that narrative. EUMEPS is committed to ensuring that EPS remains a viable, sustainable and irreplaceable option in both packaging and construction.
