Both companies share the same goals to make plastics a sustainable material. This agreement recognises the commercial value of post-consumer plastic waste to prevent this important resource being incinerated or ending up in landfills.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>INEOS Styrolution has extensive knowledge and expertise in polymer science and production backed by its advanced technology and process.<\/p>\n<p>Recycling Technologies possesses extensive knowledge, technology and expertise in the area of building reactors, suitable to thermally recycle mixed plastics using pyrolysis.<\/p>\n<p>Recycling Technologies has already completed a detailed research and trial process with INEOS Styrolution. This activity included scientific research and processing of polystyrene on Recycling Technologies\u2019 Mark II test reactor producing excellent results. Both companies will now further advance this depolymerisation solution based on Recycling Technologies\u2019 fluidised bed technology, currently used for mixed plastics to adapt it for the commercial recycling of polystyrene.<\/p>\n<p>INEOS Styrolution and Recycling Technologies believe depolymerisation has the potential to close the loop, creating a circular economy for polystyrene making the material a more valuable polymer. This recycled polystyrene has the potential to meet the high specifications demanded for food packaging regulations making it attractive to the food industry.<\/p>\n<p>Sven Riechers, Vice President, Business Management, Standard Products, EMEA at INEOS Styrolution comments: \u201cRecycling Technologies\u2019 fluidised bed technology is a very promising technology to drive our joint agenda forward. I am looking forward to a fruitful collaboration in the interest of the environment, our customers and the consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adrian Griffiths, CEO &amp; Founder of Recycling Technologies Ltd., adds: \u201cWe are delighted to enter this partnership with INEOS Styrolution to develop a commercial solution to recycle polystyrene. This partnership creates the basis for a more circular economy in polystyrene allowing its users to achieve their challenging recycling targets set by all their stakeholders. To date we have focused on the recycling of mixed plastic waste, this initiative will allow us to develop and expand our feedstock recycling technology solutions to address a new and important market, recycling polystyrene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Recycling Technologies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>UK-based company, Recycling Technologies, is on a mission to accelerate the evolution of plastic into a more sustainable material.\u00a0Currently, 88% of the plastic used in the world is either buried, burned or leaked into the environment<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ineos-styrolution.com\/news\/cmp_20200805_092712#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>. This means that the world recycles only 12% of the 359 million tons of plastic produced each year<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ineos-styrolution.com\/news\/cmp_20200805_092712#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>. Recycling Technologies\u00a0has developed an innovative technology, the RT7000, which turns hard-to-recycle plastic such as films, bags, laminated plastics into an oil, called\u00a0Plaxx\u00ae, used as a feedstock for new plastic production. The RT7000 is modular and small-scale, designed to fit easily onto existing waste treatment and recycling sites, providing a scalable solution to recycle waste plastic anywhere in the world.\u00a0For further information, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.recyclingtechnologies.co.uk\/\">www.recyclingtechnologies.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ineos-styrolution.com\/news\/cmp_20200805_092712#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><em><strong>[1]<\/strong><\/em><\/a><em> McKinsey&amp;Co \u2013 How plastics-waste recycling could transform the chemical industry<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ineos-styrolution.com\/news\/cmp_20200805_092712#_ftnref2\" name=\"_ftn2\"><em><strong>[2]<\/strong><\/em><\/a><em> Plastics Europe \u2013 Plastics the facts 2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, and Recycling Technologies, a specialist plastic recycling technology provider announced the signing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8739,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,16],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-22107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-plas-tv-meldungen-auf-der-startseite-unterhalb-slider","category-plast-tv-textmeldungen"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22107","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22107"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22107\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22109,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22107\/revisions\/22109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22107"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22107"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22107"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/plas.tv\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=22107"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
