Engineered eps environmental benefits |

Resource EfficientExpanded Polystyrene (EPS) manufacturing uses little energy, in which steam is a component of the manufacturing process. The water from this process is collected and re-used many times. Additionally, only 0.1% of total oil consumption is used to manufacture EPS.
| Made with Recycled Material Scrap EPS generated during manufacturing or from jobsite waste can be ground and incorporated
into new EPS products. EPS is easily recyclable and can be turned into
new expanded polystyrene (EPS) products or thermally processed into a
resin to make other products such as garden furniture, coat hangers and
disposable cameras.
Environmentally FriendlyEPS has never contained CFC (chlorofluorocarbon), HCFC (hydrochlorofluorocarbon), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbon) or formaldehyde which are harmful to the earth’s ozone. EPS is inert and stable and does not produce methane gas or contaminating leachates.

Recommended Component of LEED Certified ProjectsLeadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the nationally accepted
benchmark for design, construction and operation of high performance
green buildings. Owners of LEED buildings receive tax incentives for
reducing the environmental impact on their surroundings.
Energy & Atmosphere
Credit 1 – EPS provides a stable R-Value without thermal drift, ensuring long term performance
Credit 2 – EPS helps ensure compliance with local energy codes and ASHRAE 90.1-1999
Materials & Resources
Credit 1 – EPS is dimensionally stable and can be reused during building renovations.
Credit 4 – Made with up to 15% recycled content
Credit 5 – ACH Foam has many plant locations across the US. The plant is likely to be within 500 miles from the jobsite
