Conserving resources with EPS food packaging

PRESS RELEASE - BASF’s customer Schaumaplast GmbH & Co.KG, an internationally active manufacturer of molded parts made from particle foams, is now offering packaging made from biomass-balanced Styropor®.

Amway recycling: A global initiative that starts at headquarters

PRESS RELEASE - It’s a scene that plays out thousands of times a day at Amway’s Paper Products plant on the company’s world headquarters campus.

Such is the short lifecycle for the leftovers created by machines that precisely cut out containers for Amway products inside the Ada, Michigan facility. All of this effort is part of a clear initiative at Amway, Rick Van Dellen, global sustainability program manager, said. Amway strives for excellence – even in recycling its waste.
