What began in 2006 as a forum for expanded polypropylene has evolved into a platform for all particle foams and their diverse applications. We bring together our commitment to these innovative materials, which set new standards in many sectors and especially in terms of sustainability.
Together with partners from industry and research, we advance projects, promote knowledge transfer and create visibility for the potential of modern particle foams: materials of the future.
