BEWI introduces Certified Recycled EPS
- perfect for reducing the climate footprint of packagingPlastic packaging is necessary and useful to protect food and reduce food waste. But as we need to reduce consumption of natural resources, we need to reuse and recycle more. Now, BEWI introduces Certified Recycled EPS (CREPS), which is EPS raw material and end-products based on recycled feedstock – perfectly suited for food packaging.
"Our Certified Recycled EPS is especially relevant for customers in UK and Spain, where a national tax on plastic packaging have already been implemented. We expect to see more countries implementing similar taxes going forward”
Christian Bekken
"At BEWI, we ensure that used EPS is repurposed into high-quality raw material and new products. Certified Recycled EPS is part of a broader commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle”

About Certified Recycled EPS (CREPS):
Certified Recycled EPS is EPS raw material and end-products based on recycled feedstock specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements for food and pharmaceutical packaging. The material can also be used for other purposes, such as protective packaging and insulation solutions.
In the manufacturing process, a mix of recycled and virgin feedstock is used. A third-party certification (REDCert) secures the allocation of the properties of the raw material to the industries and products where they are best suited.
The performance and quality of the material is maintained, while the CO₂ footprint is significantly reduced.
