INEOS Styrolution’s Recycling Innovation Named Finalist at 2025 Plastics Recycling Awards
INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, is proud to announce that its new polystyrene mechanical recycling solution for food contact quality has been selected as a finalist at the 2025 Plastics Recycling Awards Europe in the category “Product Technology Innovation of the year”.
The finalists were revealed on January 16, with the winners announced during the Plastics Recycling Show Europe 2025 in Amsterdam (1-2 April 2025, RAI, Amsterdam).
The new solution, developed with partners in the food and retail industries, has been registered as a novel technology under EU regulation 2022/1616, ensuring compliance with strict food contact safety standards. This innovation enables the mechanical recycling of polystyrene to achieve food contact quality recyclates, a level of purity previously only seen in PET bottle recyclates. Demonstrated through the launch of the first yoghurt cup made from mechanically recycled polystyrene, this breakthrough showcases polystyrene’s unique recyclability and its potential for fully circular packaging solutions.
Dr. Frank Eisenträger, ECO & Market Development Manager, says: “We are honoured that our innovative work in polystyrene recycling has been recognised by the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe. Being a finalist highlights the significant progress we’ve made in delivering circular solutions for food packaging. We are excited to celebrate this achievement with our partners and the broader industry at the awards ceremony in April.”
