Kevin McQuade, CEO INEOS Styrolution,
presents the company’s vision and efforts to
contribute to a circular economy for styrenics.

INEOS has pledged its full support to help
create a circular economy for plastics by
launching a global pledge with five targets,
to be met by 2025. View video 2 for
information on the INEOS pledge.

In this video, only 4 INEOS targets are mentioned. INEOS included an additional target on PVC recycling after this video was made.

ResolVe is a research project focused on the
chemical recycling of polystyrene. It is funded
by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
(BMBF) and executed jointly by INEOS Styrolution
and Neue Materialien Bayreuth as well as with two
institutes of the University of Aachen, the Department
of Processing & Recycling (I.A.R.) and Institute
for Plastics Processing (IKV).

Follow the coffee machine and find out how electronics waste can be recycled and given a new life.

Follow the polystyrene yoghurt cup and find out it gets recycled and “reincarnated” by the process of depolymerisation.

A successful demonstration of the viability of high-purity mechanical recycling of polystyrene. Due to polystyrene's low diffusion property, high purity levels of 99.9% and more of the polystyrene recyclate can be achieved.
