Trinseo offers new resins produced with chemically recycled monomer

Trinseo (TSE) announced it has started receiving chemically recycled styrene monomer from its partner, Indaver, and will now offer its STYRON Polystyrene, MAGNUM ABS, and TYRIL SAN resins manufactured with the recycled material. The monomer is produced at Indaver’s newly operational plant in Antwerp, Belgium, which uses polystyrene household packaging waste. Trinseo’s portfolio of STYRON Polystyrene resins, MAGNUM ABS resins, and TYRIL SAN resins can be manufactured with chemically recycled SM1 produced according to the mass balance principle, meaning they are drop-in equivalents of their fossil-based counterparts, including for food contact applications.
