One group that has been instrumental in educating the public about the advantages of expanded polystyrene (EPS) packaging and in organizing collection efforts for post-consumer EPS is the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers. Established in 1991, the AFPR has also helped converters to develop an information clearinghouse for EPS recycling, and to communicate with OEMs about the environmental benefits of EPS. Representing more than 45 EPS manufacturers with more than 200 collection sites nationwide, the AFPR responds to hundreds of inquiries each month. It also provides information on recycling technologies and new solid waste management practices. During the six years of the AFPR's existence, the environmental learning curve in the U.S. has resulted in an improved attitude towards plastics.
