EPS, or expanded polystyrene, is a lightweight foam plastic known for its ability to provide product protection, withstand impact, and maintain temperature. This versatile, recyclable material is used in everything from construction insulation to protective packaging for consumer goods, medical supplies, sensitive electronics, and more.
At Altor Solutions, makers of FreezPak™ reusable ice substitutes and FreezKeeper™ convenience coolers, we use this material in our BioEPS® biodegradable cooler line to help reduce environmental impact and encourage recycling.
Drop-off sites are available across North America for EPS material. You can bring your cooler to any Altor location or one of more than 375 recycling centers to help give EPS a new life. Find the EPS drop-off location nearest you by selecting a button below.
Altor is a proud member of the EPS Industry Alliance (EPS-IA), a trade association that brings North American businesses together to support responsible EPS use and recycling. With members spanning 44 states, the organization strives to expand industry knowledge and resources while advocating for the EPS foam and protective packaging industry with policymakers in the U.S. and Canada.
In collaboration with EPS-IA, Altor is committed to advancing EPS research and education, improving recycling access, and promoting the role of EPS in a circular economy.
