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.”

Tina Olivero

30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
