Geoplast products are better than EPS
19 April 2023
A sustainably profitable approach aims to reduce the use of materials, machinery, and time, making construction projects both cost-effective and sustainable. EPS is one of the least desirable materials when sustainable profitability is concerned, yet it is widely used in many segments of construction: from lightweight fills to lightened slabs and insulation.
Let’s review the most important reasons why EPS is bad and how Geoplast recycled plastic products can do a better job.

STACKABILITY
❌
Produced in bulky pieces that cannot be compacted.
