As one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of polystyrene globally, Trinseo knows the ubiquity and importance of the material in our society. We also recognize that it is a highly sustainable and fully recyclable material for every end market and are working diligently with the industry to optimize that potential. Trinseo is engaged in a number of initiatives to unlock the circularity of polystyrene, namely in depolymerization, clean mechanical recycling, as well as dissolution. Circularity of the material is critical as it diverts waste material away from landfills and the environment, leading to a reduction in greenhouse gases and harmful emissions. It also works to eliminate other environmental concerns caused by potentially imprudent action.
