OBJECTIVES
Exiba is the EUROPEAN EXTRUDED POLYSTYRENE INSULATION BOARD ASSOCIATION.
Its current members represent more than 85% of the capacity for extruded polystyrene foams within Europe. Exiba operates as a sector group of Cefic, and cooperates closely with other associations involved with plastic foams.
The current Chair of the General Assembly as well as the EXIBA Steering Committee is Douglas McCollum.

Specific objectives of the group include:

 
  1. Understand and influence regulations concerning the use of blowing agents to optimise any required transitions.

  2. Understand and influence regulations concerning flame retardancy.

  3. Promote the use of plastic foams as efficient insulators to improve energy savings.

  4. In conjunction with regulators determine and then sponsor critical studies on required health and environmental issues.

  5. Develop and communicate scientifically sound policies on important health and environmental aspects.

  6. Promote the benefits of the product to direct and downstream users as well as key influencers of that use.
