Polystyrene shows excellent recyclability
Effective chemical recycling of polystyrene is tolerant to contamination by other polymers, such as polyolefins
Details will be presented in a poster session at the Bayreuth Polymer Symposium
INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, today discloses first results of the ResolVe project. This project addresses research related to chemical recycling of polystyrene.
The ResolVe project team now has proof of concept of closed loop recycling. The process converts waste polystyrene back to pure styrene via a depolymerisation process, followed by a polymerisation process resulting in a quality identical to virgin polystyrene.
