In Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and Frankfurt am Main, Germany, three industry leaders collaborate to close loop by recycling single-serve polystyrene packaging. Advanced recycling technology will help to reduce amount of polystyrene packaging going to landfill.
Today, Sept. 19th, at the G7 Ministerial Meeting on Working Together on Climate Change, Oceans and Clean
Energy, three industry leaders involved with post-consumer packaging recovery – ReVital Polymers, Pyrowave and INEOS Styrolution – announced a strategic partnership to recycle polystyrene packaging collected in consumer curbside and depot recycling systems as well as other sources such as restaurants, offices, schools and universities.
The collaboration will use advanced recycling technology pioneered by Pyrowave that will close the
loop by recycling single-serve polystyrene packaging and utilizing recycled polystyrene in the
manufacturing of new products and packaging.
“This is a game changer for consumers and for municipal and industrial, commercial and institutional recycling programs,” said Keith Bechard, Chief Commercial Officer at ReVital Polymers Inc. “Polystyrene packaging, regardless of colour, food residue or odours, can be successfully added to recycling programs. When these materials are shipped to ReVital, they will be recycled into a highvalue material that closes the loop. For ReVital, this project is an opportunity to increase our range of acceptable feedstock, increase the recovery rate for residential and commercial recycling programs and increase our value proposition to customers.”
The three companies are committed to reducing the amount of plastic waste that ends up in landfill or contaminates the world’s waterways and oceans.
“Although we know there is a lot of polystyrene waste around us, surprisingly the challenge we face is the lack of available material because it is not properly recovered,” said Jocelyn Doucet, CEO of Pyrowave. “Pyrowave’s technology expands the range of acceptable polystyrene feedstock, making it possible to build a new value chain that links ReVital’s processing expertise with INEOS Styrolution’s global end-market capacity.”
The Pyrowave process is an example of how innovation in diversion technology goes beyond resinto-resin
recycling technologies. Bechard noted: “These new technologies can improve recovery
capabilities, drive our societies closer to zero waste and enhance circular economy objectives. We are very excited to bring our years of expertise in large-scale plastic recycling operations to support the commercialization of Pyrowave’s technology. We want to be the leader in adopting new circular technologies applied to recycling and our expertise in innovation makes it a perfect fit for our company.”
