Ineos Styrolution (Frankfurt, Germany; www.ineos-styrolution.com) says that following successful trials, its recycled polystyrene is now in food packaging products made by Greek packaging manufacturer Pal Packaging (Athens; www.packaging.pal.gr).
The use of Styrolution PS Eco and the introduction of a functional barrier to comply with food contact regulation is another milestone towards a circular economy for PS, the resin maker said.
Konstantinos Roumpos, quality and R&D manager at Pal Packaging parent Palamidis, noted that the firm was “eager to go ahead with sustainable packaging solutions starting with poultry and mushroom packaging”.
Pal Packaging exports to more than 30 countries in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and has production sites in two countries and a staff of about 170.
