Trinseo and Coexpan work on polystyrene recycling technologies

With materials and input supplied by Trinseo, Coexpan will be testing recycled polystyrene across various technologies at its Innotech (COEXPAN&EMSUR Innovation Technology Center for Rigid and Flexible Packaging).

The dairy FFS packaging market, which has historically preferred the use of polystyrene due to its technical superiority over alternative polymers, has recently seen greater interest in alternative materials owing to misperceptions regarding the circularity and recyclability of polystyrene.
