About Expanded Polystyrene Packaging Market

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging is made from styrene that is derived from petroleum products. EPS is a thermoplastic resin that consists of an expanding agent. It is manufactured via suspension polymerization. EPS packaging is rigid and lightweight due to its structure that contains low-density polystyrene. Also, it is gaining popularity due to the demand from industries that require sustainable solutions.
EPS packaging has excellent shock absorbing characteristics, and this makes it ideal for storage and transportation of fragile items, including chemicals, electronic equipment, and pharmaceutical products. EPS packaging is primarily used to pack electronic/white goods.
