Springvale EPS Ltd has extensive experience in the design and manufacture of moulded packaging products.

EPS is a versatile and lightweight material with excellent thermal performance characteristics, making it an ideal choice for many uses.

Applications

EPS (expanded polystyrene) and EPP (expanded polypropylene) packaging are ideal for use in several sectors:

• Food packaging, including perishables
• IT and electrical goods
• Veterinary and medical items
• Safety garments

Design

Using solid modelling capabilities in a variety of design packages (Autocad, Pro-Engineer, Inventor etc), the design team can easily communicate concept designs to ensure quick and accurate project turnarounds.

The Environment / Recycling

At Springvale we encourage the multiple use of EPS, firstly in shape moulding with a defined life cycle, then reprocessed in our construction products to insulate and save energy into the future. Our activities in this important area include:

• Establishment of registered recycling centres for EPS materials surplus to our customers requirements
• Membership of national and international EPS Groups which aim to coordinate a common sustainable approach to EPS packaging materials
• Education and awareness programmes concerning sustainable, recyclable and reprocessible foam packaging
