Expanded polystyrene is a ‘waste nightmare’
EPS remains the go-to packaging for transporting seafood, used for both packaging and insulation purposes. But EPS packaging generates a significant environmental burden through its production, use and disposal and its single-use also feeds into the plastic pollution problem.
So what can be done? Some innovators are thinking outside the EPS box and developing more sustainable packaging for the seafood industry. Could such alternatives help tackle the seafood industry’s polystyrene problem?
