EVRgreen® Biodegradable* EPS
Sustainable, high-performance EPS engineered for molded packaging, cold chain, and foodservice solutions
EVRgreen® is Epsilyte’s biodegradable EPS bead, developed to meet the dual demands of product protection and environmental responsibility. Designed for molding into protective packaging, cold chain shipping systems, and foodservice containers, EVRgreen® maintains the durability, thermal performance, and structural reliability of standard EPS while offering a more sustainable end-of-life pathway.
Its advanced formulation integrates biodegradable technology, enabling molded products to safely break down into water, carbon dioxide, and inert matter under the right conditions. This dual pathway allows businesses to reduce environmental impact without compromising performance or safety.
Supported by Epsilyte’s technical expertise and North American production network, EVRgreen® delivers a sustainable EPS material solution that helps manufacturers and brand owners achieve modern sustainability targets while ensuring dependable product performance.
*EVRgreen® EPS biodegrades 94% over four years, compared to cellulose, using the ASTM D5511 test that simulates wetter and biologically active landfills, which do not exist in all parts of the U.S. The stated rate and extent of degradation do not mean that EVRgreen® will continue to degrade. No claim is deemed to be made in any state or locality that prohibits the making of biodegradability claims on this or similar products.
