Polystyrene recycling
Breaking polystyrene’s impossible cycle
While millions of tons are produced annually worldwide, recycling rates remain dismally low: 16% in China, 7% in Europe, and below 1% in the United States. Waste management logistics and contamination such as flame retardants and food residue, have forced millions of tons into landsfill and incinerators.
The paradox is clear for these contaminated waste streams: the solutions that exist cannot economically handle real-world contamination.
Sulzer is changing this story together with its partners
Our revolutionary chemical recycling technology EcoStyreneTM transforms even heavily contaminated polystyrene into virgin-quality styrene monomer, suitable for the most demanding applications - including those requiring food contact safety.
We deliver what others cannot:
Feedstock flexibility - Handle what others reject, minimizing costs.
Maximize styrene revenue - Process characteristics capable in delivering attractive project economics
Proven reliability built on commercial-scale experience and guaranteed performance.
Join us in creating a world where polystyrene never truly becomes waste - only material awaiting transformation.
