Introducing biodegradable* EVRgreen™:
the first EPS resin with EcoPure® technology

New biodegradable* EPS offers consumers a new choice

  • Biodegrades* an average of 14.2% within the first 133 days of testing under conditions that simulate a biologically active landfill*
  • Does not interfere with end product recyclability
  • Microorganisms in biologically active landfills break down the polystyrene, leaving behind only biogas and a topsoil-like mass
  • Enables biodegradation* while preserving the superior performance characteristics of EPS: hot and cold insulation, performance temperature range and strength

FOR A VARIETY OF END-USE CONSUMER PRODUCTS

  • Protective packaging
  • Foodservice containers
  • Diverse custom applications

EVRgreen
* Using the ASTM D5511-11 test. Actual biodegradation rates vary in landfills according to moisture level. Present tests at >48% solids content are representative of wetter landfills, such as in the Southeastern U.S
