I was delighted to learn recently that one of my favorite food brands had responded to one of my biggest packaging pet peeves—Styrofoam coolers that clutter up my garage and create a disposal problem that I didn’t ask for. Learn about the innovative packaging alternative that they settled upon.
Because foam coolers can’t be collapsed or folded prior to use, they become a permanent real estate problem inside your operation. That means more warehouse square footage for packaging storage, more racking, more labor and material handling costs, and more congestion on the warehouse floor.
The Forum for EPS Recycling, EPSY, organized within the IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V. (German Association for Plastics Packaging and Films), and the airpop expert group state that airpop/Styrofoam can — and is — being recycled successfully.
