In the 80's, our packaging firm looked into buying flowable polystyrene extruding equipment from a company in Sweden. The business model looked pretty good at the time - few people then realized the coming impact of transportation cost and environmental concerns. We ended up passing on the opportunity for entirely different reasons, but in retrospect is was the right decision. Hi Mario, thanks for visiting ISP.

Indeed it's a systems design analysis that yields such an assessment. My father had owned two PS loose fill factories in the 70s and 80s, so there's a bit of personal connection in relating history to modern best practices in void filling. Hi Brad,
