Good for the Environment. Made of wood products and high-density expanded polystyrene, all materials can be recycled. Sustainable practices are used in manufacturing OSB that include renewing wood resources, respecting forestry through maintaining water quality, wildlife habitats and soil productivity and minimizing and recycling waste. EPS is recognized for its low impact on the environment in areas such as climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, ecotoxicity and fossil fuel depletion.
Good for your Health. Compared to standard insulation materials such as fiberglass, ISO foam and cellulose, expanded polystyrene (EPS) is the Health Smart choice. It is solid, nonporous and moisture resistant, preventing mold and insect infestation. Unlike fiberglass, EPS will not release carcinogens through fiber emissions that carry the risk of potentially serious respiratory and other health conditions. Compared to ISO foam, EPS also will not out gas toxins, such as formaldehyde. EPS provides no danger to humans during manufacturing or in handling during construction.
