Recycled Polystyrene: Styrolution’s Sustainable Packaging Solution

INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, and Sirap Group, a leader in sustainable food packaging solutions, announced today to incorporate the new mechanically recycled Styrolution® PS ECO, a 100% recycled polystyrene, for new food packaging solutions.

This solution saves valuable post-consumer waste from landfill / incineration and provides an introduction of a functional barrier to comply with food contact regulations.

Sirap Group is a company with a track record for providing high quality and sustainable packaging solutions. Sirap will benefit from the excellent property profile of the mechanically recycled Styrolution PS ECO. Easy foaming properties allow the production of XPS foam packaging trays Franck Dumasdelage, General Manager France at Sirap Group, comments:

“Sirap has been investing into R&D for innovative and sustainable materials for more than 60 years. We have been working with INEOS Styrolution’s virgin material before. Naturally, we were excited to learn that the material is available now also as mechanically recycled Styrolution PS ECO. It looks like the perfect material for our purpose.”

Louie Mackee, Standard Business Project Specialist at INEOS Styrolution, adds: “At INEOS Styrolution, we are excited to work with a fast mover like Sirap Group who shares our passion for sustainability.”
