Styrenics Circular Solutions has been formally established as an independent legal entity and collaboration platform.
INEOS Styrolution, Total, Trinseo and Versalis (Eni), SCS’ four founding members, signed the SCS incorporation agreement to further solidify their commitment to transform the styrenics industry by unlocking polystyrene’s unique circularity potential.
The newly incorporated platform will enable the inclusion of new members across the styrenics value chain and waste management stream, as well as build on the collaboration with long-standing partners, such as PlasticsEurope.
SCS will place a strong focus on engaging waste collection and sorting partners to recover more polystyrene and EPS-based products.
New technology will enable polystyrene, EPS and other styrenic based plastics to be fully recycled.
“The potential for polystyrene recycling is enormous. We know that polystyrene has an unparalleled capacity for closed-loop recycling, when properly collected and sorted,” said Jens Kathmann, Secretary General of SCS.
“The SCS founding members, are fully committed to our objective of full circularity. We therefore welcome partners across the entire value chain, including recyclers, waste management companies, converters and brand owners, to join SCS to link waste streams to our innovative recycling technologies.”
