GREEN EPS
Interest in, and indeed mandates for, sustainable building and packaging products continues to grow. While many product manufacturers may promote their products as "green”, many fail to be able to back up their claims. To help clients, shippers, contractors, architects, and engineers evaluate the environmental impact of products they acquire or install, the American Society for Testing Materials developed the "Standard Practice for Data Collection for Sustainability Assessment of Building Products" (ASTM E2129). This document provides a set of instructions for collecting data to be used in assessing the sustainability of building products, and whether or not products meet the guidelines of programs such as the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design system (LEED) consistency with BEES (Building for Environmental and Economic Sustainability) .
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) rigid insulation manufactured by PermaTherm has always been a “green” product. The highest environmental attribute is the ability to insulate, and thus reduce energy loss. Additionally, EPS has never contained any ozone depleting chemicals and is 100% recyclable and environmentally safe .
