EPS packaging prevents more waste than it creates. 📦 It protects fragile goods, cuts emissions & enables circularity—yet it’s often misunderstood. Our director, Chresten Heide-Anderson, explains why perception shouldn’t replace data. #Sustainability #EPS

Does “looking green” always mean being sustainable? Too often, greenwashing distorts policy and consumer choices—prioritizing aesthetics over impact.

We share a new article by Chresten Heide-Anderson on how misleading environmental claims shape decisions.

Are we solving real problems, or being decieved by what is right in front of us`?
Cognitive bias shapes too many sustainability policies. A single product, like the EPS cup, can dominate discussions while broader, systemic waste issues go overlooked. We need regulation based on data, not perception.
Løser vi problemer, eller bare det vi ser?
Når politik og regulering styres af det mest synlige frem for det mest vigtige, risikerer vi at træffe beslutninger, der føles rigtige, men som ikke skaber værdi.

New Article: Facts About EPS and Marine Plastic Pollution
EPS is often visible in beach litter, but data shows it accounts for just 0.5% of global marine plastic by weight.

This article explores why visibility skews perceptions and why data-driven strategies matter.

Our Director is in #Busan to contribute with input to #INC5 and the #plasticstreaty negotiations.

Feel free to reach out if you want to know more about #recycling of Expanded Polystyrene.

EPS transport #packaging is effectively integrated in the #circulareconomy, as recognised by UNEP.
At #INC5 in Busan, I’m ready to engage with global stakeholders to tackle plastic pollution! 🌎 Representing the #EPS industry, now with recycling in 72 countries across 6 continents, supporting 4B+ people. Collaboration = progress. Let’s make an impact! #Sustainability

Added a few more to the #plasticstreaty / #INC5 starterpack

The conversation is still slow but will take off I’m certain.

As we head #INC5 in #Busan for negotiations on how to reduce #plasticpollution in a legally binding #plasticstreaty, the science is clear two simple policies can solve 80% of the problem. Recycled Content Mandate and Investment in Waste Management.

Should be a no-brainer!

Our director has a newsletter on LinkedIn, which addresses misunderstandings and the impact of cognitive bias in the circular economy.

The latest article discusses EPS recycling facts. And has just been shared by LinkedIn News!

Lidt benovet! Har skrevet artikel på LinkedIn om genanvendelse af EPS og fakta. Det har LinkedIn delt på deres news.

Det er jeg lidt stolt af. #dkgreen

Noticed that there doesn't seem to be an obvious Circular Economy Starter Pack... So, I've started one here (slightly UK/EU centric). Suggestions for additions welcomed, and also how to add people quickly using the app, as it seems quite convoluted:

Not many stakeholders for #INC5 to be found on BlueSky!

Here are the people I found for a starter pack on #PlasticsTreaty.

Let’s land a treaty ensuring effective EPR, strong focus on #circulareconomy and based on a scientific evaluation of the impacts of alternatives.

I’m happy to create both list and starter pack for #INC5 and #plastic / #plasticstreaty / #plastictreaty - for those who wants to join the conversation in #Busan here on @bsky.app - follow, repost and like to help me find people other than @melaniebergma18.bsky.social
