Produce Boxes Lifecyle Analysis
One of the tasks of a responsible business is to calculate its impact on the environment and to find ways to reduce it.The table below shows the results of a life cycle analysis comparison of EPS with other materials*.
The data demonstrates that EPS packaging has much less impact on the environment than other competitive materials for the same use.
| Packaging Materials | EPS | Wood, paper, etc |
| Cost | 1 | 1.3 |
| Weight | 1 | 6.4 |
| Energy consumption | 1 | 2 |
| Volume of solid waste | 1 | 1.2 |
