Why was the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers formed?
AFPR members share the concerns of its customers and the public about solid waste and the conservation of natural resources. Expanded polystyrene foam packaging is an economical, efficient and valuable material which can be recycled and reused in foam packaging or durable consumer goods. Working with independent recycling businesses and others, the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers has created a network for the collection, reprocessing and reuse of foam packaging. Because this collection system relies on EPS manufacturers to serve as recycling locations, drop-off sites are not available in all areas.
