The packaging industry uses expanded polystyrene also known as EPS liberally as it has many benefits. However, EPS is not a harmless material. It can cause harm to the environment and to living beings. It is also not #sustainable or #ecofriendly. Let us run you through the benefits and harm that using EPS can cause and why we at #FicusPax choose sustainable packaging options for #industrialpackagingsolutions.
