IN EOS Styrolution and Agilyx to Develop Polystyrene Chemical Recycling Plant in Illinois

摘要

INEOS Styrolution,a global styrenics supplier focused on styrene monomer,polystyrene,ABS Standard,and styrenic specialties,and Agilyx,a chemical recycler of postconsumer plastics into low-carbon fuels,chemicals,and plastics,recently announced they are developing a polystyrene chemical recycling facility in Channahon,III.”This is an incredibly exciting time to be in this industry,”says Ricardo Cuetos,vice president INEOS Styrolution Americas,standard products.”Agilyx’s chemical recycling technology is a game changer to advance the circular recycling pathway of plastics.A benefit of chemical recycling is there is no degradation over multiple cycles;the polymers can continue to create new products over and over again of the same purity and performance of virgin polystyrene.This plant will dramatically increase recycling rates in the greater Chicago area,dispelling the myth that polystyrene can’t be recycled.We are thrilled to partner with Agilyx on this project.”
