Frequently asked questions about EPP, EPS and Styrofoam in the Cologne region
EPS (expanded polystyrene) is a cost-effective foam with excellent insulation properties, mainly used for single-use applications. EPP (expanded polypropylene) is more robust, elastic, and suitable for multiple-use applications that require repeated loading.
Absolutely. EPS is 100% recyclable. Schlaadt operates its own recycling loop and takes back used EPS packaging. The recycled material is reintegrated into new products, thereby reducing resource consumption.
EPP is primarily used in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, medical technology, and for high-quality packaging solutions – wherever durability, shock resistance, and reusability are required.
The development process begins with an analysis of your requirements. Our team assists with the creation of CAD models and, if necessary, produces prototypes. Following approval, tooling production and series production of the EPS / EPP molded parts commence. We support you with comprehensive consulting and flexibility throughout the implementation.
Upon request, Schlaadt produces customized perimeter insulation boards made of expanded foams such as EPS or EPP. These boards are ideally suited for the thermal insulation of building components in contact with the ground and can be individually adapted to project requirements.
Yes, we regularly supply customers in Cologne and throughout the Rhineland. Thanks to our central location in Germany, we can guarantee short delivery times and, if required, deliver directly to construction sites or production locations.
