Concern about ozone depletion in the stratosphere has led to international agreements to phase out the use of ozone-depleting chemicals.
All STYROFOAM™ products are hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) free and comply with the requirements of EC Regulation No 2037/2000 (1 Oct 2000) on substances which deplete the ozone layer. STYROFOAM `X’ products are foamed with a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and `A’ products with carbon dioxide.
Both -X and -A products have an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of zero. -X products have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1300 and -A products less than 5.
