Swindon-based Recycling Technologies, Ineos Styrolution, and
Trinseo have announced that they've agreed to build commercial polystyrene recycling
plants in Europe. Recycling Technologies has been selected as the technology
partner.
The three companies share the same vision of making PS a
circular material through depolymerisation. The unique properties of PS allow
for full circularity where PS waste is returned to its chemical building blocks
before being polymerised again.
The recycled PS will have identical properties with virgin
PS. Life cycle assessment calculations show significant decreases in greenhouse
gas emissions when compared with PS production from naphtha.
