SCS today announces the successful demonstration of the mechanical recycling of XPS food trays in partnership with @KronesAG and @TOMRAGroup. A successful test run on Krones' pilot process for foamed polystyrene confirms feasibility, industrial efficiency and recyclate quality of…
Further solutions for PS recycling: At the @NPEplasticsshow in Orlando, Forida, next week, @StarlingerCo will present its super-cleaning and odour reduction solutions for the most popular consumer packaging materials, including PS. Starlinger says that it realises its vision…
Another contribution from our member BEWI to circularity in all parts of the styrenics value chain. It meets the demand for sustainable material, amid further increasing collection, sorting and recycling of all forms of PS across Europe, including EPS: bewi.com/press-releases…
After a busy year, our newsletter features a selection of actions taken by our value chain in 2023 to further drive forward the circular economy for styrenics. We also take this opportunity to wish you well for the festive season and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2024!…
1st EU rules on calculating recycled content rely on the new regime for safe recycled plastic food contact material. Our value chain is already implementing that regime. Furthermore, @EU_Commission is to propose rules for chemical recycling by March. Links:…
The sorting of PS can be efficient & precise, and it is further improving across Europe, also with significant capacity upgrades, e.g. 200Kt in Sweden and 100Kt by ARA and Green Dot in Austria. Links: bit.ly/3NsQHHx, bit.ly/481GTfE & bit.ly/3NwvI6O
Report for @GermanEnvAgency: 48.4% plastic packaging recycling rate in 2021, just shy of the EU target for 2025. Post-sorting recycling efficiency of PS household packaging on par with e.g. PP (75%); for EPS even 87.5%. bit.ly/3GNnqU1
Today, over 100 EU and national associations from the #packaging value chain express their concerns for the risks of #singlemarket fragmentation in the upcoming #PPWR and call for the adoption of a workable legislative framework. Read the statement here: shorturl.at/yGLW8
Even more high-quality polystyrene recycling is coming across the EU, e.g. a new 40Kt plant in Krefeld, Germany. SCS members @Styrolution, @tomra and their local partner will mechanically recycle post-consumer PS waste to safe food contact material from mid-2025.…

Congratulations to Swedish Plastic Recycling for opening Site Zero today! It will provide 200Kt capacity to sort all household plastic packaging waste for recycling, including polystyrene and EPS. A leap forward for the circular economy. bit.ly/3QO6dQk
PS packaging is increasingly collected, sorted & recycled across Europe, e.g. 67% of it in Germany. Meanwhile, our Canadian member @polystyvert will commercialise dissolution to recycle PS waste even where it is more challenging. Article: bit.ly/40bG8xA
Steve Harrington, @Styrolution: Brand owners & customers already eager for long-term contracts. Commercial scale PS recycling investment will lead to growing PS market share & reduction in packaging taxes & licence fees in countries with such frameworks. bit.ly/3MoxGFq
According to @tomra, PS is proven to be one of the best sortable plastics in the waste stream, 1 of only 2 polymers achieving food-contact qualities with mechanical recycling. PS retains inherent properties at virgin quality levels after many MR cycles. bit.ly/3MoxGFq
Congrats also to @FostPlusNL, @IndaverBE and user @colruytgroup for extending the recycling of PS as well as XPS packaging further, with -65Kt depolymerisation (by 2027), one of the sustainable options to produce safe recycled PS for food packaging. tinyurl.com/7bzu6tzp

Congratulations to Gneuss on 40 years focus on recycling, from OWL around the globe. This includes a favourable opinion on the suitability of a PS recycling process for food contact (NOL) from the US FDA (no. 297) bit.ly/3tWf4q0
Jens Kathmann, Secretary General of SCS, will speak on 'Circular Polystyrene - from vision to reality' at the Conformity of Food Packaging 2023 conference hosted by German Industry Association IVLV & Fraunhofer IVV in Freising, Germany. #recycling #circulareconomy #polystyrene
