Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam makes a significant contribution toward enabling modern vehicles to be lighter, more fuel efficient and safer than older models yet still be stylish enough to attract new buyers. By strategic reliance on EPS foam, the automotive industry meets these disparate design challenges in elegant and cost effective fashion.

Insulation is not the most marketable building component, but it is essential to both the performance of the building and health of the occupants. Without sufficient insulation, large portions of the energy used to heat or cool a building will be lost to the outdoors. Insufficient insulation can also lead to mold problems as heated air rapidly cools and causes water vapor to condense. Historically, mud, asbestos, and cork were used as insulation materials for buildings and pipes. The insulation products available today are much more effective, especially in conjunction with air sealing and ventilation.

ICFs are forms for poured concrete walls that stay in place as a permanent part of the wall assembly, serving as continuous insulation as well as a barrier against air and sound entry. To give the wall greater strength, steel reinforcement is placed both horizontally and vertically in the forms before the concrete is pumped or poured inside.

Insulating concrete forms (ICFs) are hollow “blocks” or “panels” made of expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) or other insulating foam used to permanently form concrete structures. ICFs result in cast-in-place concrete walls that are sandwiched between two layers of EPS foam material, providing insulation for the structure they enclose. This combination creates a wall with many desirable properties: strength, insulation, and noise control.

Not all cold chains are created equal – some are longer, more rigorous and more time consuming from end to end. Land, sea and air modes all have different structures for keeping perishable products fresh throughout the transport chain. Certain supply chains may only require one transportation mode, but many times ground shipments are one link in a combination of transport modes. Cold chain concerns include:

Food waste is often considered environmentally benign because it is ‘biodegradable’ but consider this: globally, about a third of the food produced for human consumption goes to waste — which means that a third of the water, land use, energy and financial resources that went into producing it are also squandered. For perspective, over 100 billion pounds of food, or more than a quarter of the 400 billion pounds of edible food, is spoiled each year during transport. When it comes to protecting food, the right package can dramatically reduce waste and have a major positive impact on the environment.
