Styrofoam is cheap, but at what price?

Ecomat

At first glance, Styrofoam seems inexpensive, but the true price is much higher. Its production is energy-intensive, recycling is virtually impossible, and disposal incurs enormous environmental costs. In comparison, paper-based insulated packaging such as that offered by SUPASO has a significantly better environmental footprint: it is produced regionally, fully recyclable, and free of microplastics.

Anyone who thinks about packaging in the long term quickly realizes that sustainability is not a cost factor, but a competitive advantage.

Styrofoam is cheap, but at what price?

At first glance, Styrofoam seems unbeatable: lightweight, inexpensive, functional.

But the true price is not reflected in the bill, but in the environmental impact.

♻️ Styrofoam is made from fossil raw materials, is hardly recyclable, and causes harmful emissions when burned.

⚠️ Over 90% of all Styrofoam packaging ends up in residual waste or incineration after a single use.

🌊 Microplastics and CO₂ emissions remain, often for centuries.

Our insulating packaging consists of over 97% recycled waste paper - produced regionally, recyclable, and CO₂-optimized. This turns a disposable product into a recyclable material that remains part of a closed cycle.

Sustainability must not be a matter of window dressing.
