US chemical reclaim plant for PS closer to realisation / Decision expected this year
Germany-based Ineos Styrolution (Frankfurt; www.ineos-styrolution.com) and US plastics recycling company Agilyx (Tigard, Oregon; www.agilyx.com) expect to decide this year whether they will build a US chemical recycling plant for polystyrene in Channahon, Illinois, a plan originally announced in late 2019.

Ineos Styrolution said it “anticipates completion of engineering in 2023, which will form the basis for a financial investment decision.”
Plans are to produce TruStyrenyx brand chemically recycled stryrene, which was launched last year and is the result of a collaboration between the US company and French engineering contractor Technip Energies (Paris; www.technipenergies.com).
The German company said the plant would be capable of processing up to 100 t per day of post-consumer PS.
