Here’s a summary of Jakub Stefaniak’s interview on EPS as an environmentally and economically beneficial material:

• Sustainable Choice: Expanded polystyrene (EPS) significantly enhances building energy efficiency, reducing CO2 emissions, lifecycle carbon, and energy costs, while also preventing mold growth, benefiting European citizens’ quality of life.
  
  
• Economic Benefits: EPS offers an affordable and effective pathway towards achieving Europe’s climate goals by 2050, characterized by its cost-effectiveness and ease of installation, making it a pivotal material in sustainable construction.
  
  
• Durability: With a durability that matches the lifespan of buildings, over 70 years, EPS emerges as a long-term solution for construction projects, ensuring sustained quality and performance.
  
  
• Recyclability: Contrary to common misconceptions, EPS is 100% recyclable and increasingly incorporates recycled content. Its design facilitates disassembly, minimizing its environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.
  
  
• Policy and Construction Implications: EPS stands out as an exemplary material that aligns with the aims of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, advocating for its consideration in future EU policies and construction planning.
