INEOS Styrolution, a global leader in styrenics, has successfully commercialized its 100% bio-attributed polystyrene, Styrolution\u00ae PS 158K BC100. As of early 2025, food trays using this bio-based material have been available on the shelves of the Japanese market through collaboration with a well-known retail franchise.<\/p>\n
Styrolution\u00ae PS 158K BC100 uses an ISCC-certified mass balance approach and is made from 100% bio-attributed feedstock. As a result, it achieves an impressive 172% reduction in carbon emissions when compared to traditional fossil-based polystyrene. It fully complies with global food contact standards, including the Japanese Food Sanitation Act, and has received JCII\u2019s A certification, ensuring rigorous food safety measures. Additionally, it offers exceptional heat resistance and clarity, maintaining both the quality and the visual appeal of the food packaging.<\/p>\n
“We are thrilled to mark this milestone in integrating bio-attributed materials into everyday life,” says Marcela Villegas, Vice President of Business Management APAC at INEOS Styrolution. “It shows that sustainability can be achieved while meeting regulatory standards, allowing businesses to progress in their environmental goals without compromising quality or safety.”<\/p>\n
