Putting the environment first
Foamex adheres to the Pod Code of Practice as laid out by the peak industry body Expanded Polystyrene Australia (EPSA). Our pods are delivered to construction sites tightly wrapped together with plastic shrink wrap, and then further secured on site with netting, which is attached to pegs in the ground to minimise risk of blow-away and damage. Every order of StyroPod is delivered with bags to store off-cuts and leftover polystyrene. We then pick up these leftovers from site and repurpose them into new EPS products.
