The product is developed in collaboration with ALDI S\u00dcD and Unternehmensgruppe Theo M\u00fcller. The collaboration highlights the rising industry shift towards circular PS food-contact packaging.<\/p>\n

INEOS Styrolution EMEA president Rob Buntinx said: \u201cINEOS Styrolution is turning the promise of recycled polystyrene into a practical reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proving that circular solutions can meet both food safety standards and performance demands. We\u2019re calling on the entire value chain to join us in making circularity the new normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch of these sour cream cups is the second commercial rollout of food-grade recycled PS by the company with a German retailer.<\/p>\n

As the packaging industry braces for more stringent EU regulations under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, INEOS Styrolution has submitted a formal application to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for its novel recycling technology.<\/p>\n

With several food-grade applications of recycled PS already in the market and more on the horizon, INEOS Styrolution is contributing to a paradigm shift.<\/p>\n

The company is transitioning from single-use plastics to scalable, circular solutions that are designed to meet the needs of the future.<\/p>\n

INEOS Styrolution is 100% owned by INEOS Group.<\/p>\n

Last month, INEOS Styrolution launched its 100% \u2018bio-attributed\u2019 PS<\/a> solution, Styrolution PS 158K BC100, for food packaging applications. <\/p>\n

The company also launched a new Zylar grade of methyl methacrylate butadiene styrene materials<\/a> in January 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n
