Styrenics make modern life possible

Poly wakes up to discover an alternate universe with no styrenics! Find out what the world would look like without the products that help keep food fresh and clean, transportation safe and lightweight, and medical products hygienic.

Styrenics make the world better

More and more consumer brands are pledging to increase the use of post-consumer recycled material in their products — increasing the demand for recycled plastic feedstock. The progress in recyclability of plastics means the benefits of the material (lightweight, insulating, hygienic, and more) can continue to be utilized while contributing to the vision of a sustainable, circular economy. INEOS Styrolution continues to focus on bringing recycled styrenic polymer solutions to the market by offering mechanically recycled and bio-attributed materials in our Styrolution ECO products portfolio. These materials have identical properties and the same high quality and performance as their fossil-based counterparts, thus enabling a direct replacement for customers seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and produce environmentally conscious products.

The magic of change with INEOS Styrolution ECO

INEOS Styrolution is pioneering a growing portfolio of ECO products that are available as drop-in solutions for our customers. We transform used plastics into new plastics with our recycling technologies and create new materials with renewable feedstock. Making sustainable styrenics for all applications.

Understanding product life cycle assessments

When it comes to choosing sustainable options for product materials, there’s a lot to consider. The best way to understand the full impact and environmental costs of a product is by using a lifecycle assessment, or LCA. At INEOS Styrolution, we pay close attention to LCAs, while bringing innovative and sustainable best-in-class solutions to help make the circular economy for styrenics a reality.

 

Polystyrene, a one of a kind design, made for repeating PS, polystyrene is recyclable

Polystyrene is valuable and sustainable and has many material applications that out-perform alternative solutions. From construction and insulation to safe and hygienic food storage to medical applications and electronic housings and more. It has enabled innovation, safety, and energy savings across dozens of industries making it indispensable to our daily lives. PS, polystyrene is recyclable.

Modern Polystyrene Recycling – Breaking it Down

With the introduction of many new technologies, today’s recycling may not be as simple as you think. Learn about four advanced recycling technologies that capture post-consumer plastic waste, deal with contaminants, and simplify sorting steps.

Celebrating 90 years of polystyrene, a history in the making

The year 2021 marks the 90th year since the invention of the first ready-to-use polystyrene. It may seem that this material, so indispensable to our modern way-of-life, is a recent, modern-age invention, but in fact the polystyrene we know today, actually came of age, in 1931. And, its beginnings go back even further - all the way back to 1839!

Mechanically recycled polystyrene: taking the single out of single-use food packaging

INEOS Styrolution has combined state-of-the-art sorting technology with our game-changing super-clean process to provide 100% post-consumer recycled polystyrene.
