The Plastics Division of the Washington-based American Chemistry Council (ACC) has announced Aurora, Illinois-based INEOS Styrolution America LLC has joined as a member.

Ineos Styrolution and Texas-based AmSty, both producers of polystyrene (PS), have announced plans to construct a 100-ton-per-day facility in northern Illinois that will use Agilyx chemical recycling technology to convert discarded PS back into what the firms call “virgin-equivalent styrene monomer.”

Says Ricardo Cuetos, a vice president of INEOS Styrolution Americas, “Our company is committed to improving and increasing the recovery of post-consumer polystyrene waste. Joining ACC’s Plastics Division supports both our company’s strong sustainability goals and strengthens our industry’s commitment and drive for innovation and a circular economy in all market segments.”
