Just because the temperatures dip down low, it doesn't mean you have to hang up your composting hat for the year... great for recycling food scraps during the holidays.

Climate change discussions are all over the news these days. Talking about how we can make a contribution to reduce GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions is a conversation that is very much related to our product, and one that we would like to include on this and future editions.

As the main image of this edition conveys, Composting at Home has been selected as 1 of 24 ways for us to make a direct impact to reducing carbon footprint and GHG emissions. Start composting today with HOTBIN!

Its popularity comes from EPP's properties which include: Outstanding energy absorption and impact resistance. High thermal resistance. Material remains stable in a wide range of  temperatures from -40 to +60 °С (-40 to 140 °F). Excellent UV resistance.  High rigidity and strength-to--weight ratio (which makes products strong, durable but lightweight). Chemically neutral and highly resistant to diluted and concentrated acids, alcohols, bases, alkali, etc. Water-repellent.  100% Recyclable at the end of its useful life Non-toxic The construction quality of EPP material used to...
