🔄 EPS packaging is widely recognised as recyclable, but what matters is how recycling performs in real conditions. Collection, sorting and processing all determine actual recyclability.

📉 Lower weight means lower impact. Lightweight packaging reduces transport emissions and energy use across supply chains.
Less weight means less impact.

🔹Packaging performance does not depend on one material alone. It depends on how collection, sorting and recycling systems are organised and connecte.
