INEOS Styrolution collaborates with Müller

by

INEOS Styrolution is collaborating with Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller to develop a circular solution for polystyrene based on chemical recycling. 


The joint project between INEOS Styrolution and Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller focuses on the use of polystyrene that is recycled via depolymerisation, a process that converts post- consumer polystyrene waste back to its monomers.

Yoghurt cups made of recycled polystyrene will have the identical properties as yoghurt cups made of conventional polystyrene.

Sven Riechers, Vice President Business Management, Standard Business EMEA at INEOS Styrolution, said: “We are very excited to join forces with a leading market player like Unternehmensgruppe Theo Müller. We are looking forward to a speedy and agile collaboration resulting in innovative solutions that may serve as an example in the industry.”
