Association of European Manufacturers of Expanded Polystyrene (Eumeps, Brussels / Belgium; www.eumeps.org), has appointed
Jürgen Lang as its new MD. For the past three years, Lang has been working in Brussels as a trade and tax advisor at
EuroCommerce, the European organisation for retail and wholesale trade, a position he was assigned by the
Austrian Chamber of Commerce.
Considering Europeâs climate and circular economy goals,
Klaus Ries, the Eumeps board chairman and head of global business management for styrenic foams at
BASF, said Lang would help the industry showcase environmental, social and economic benefits of EPS at the regional and European level. In that vein, Eumeps welcomed the recently opened, first-of-its-kind PolyStyreneLoop EPS recycling facility in Terneuzen / The Netherlands (see Plasteurope.com of 09.06.2021).
