10 December 2024 Time for a new, multidisciplinary approach to the study of microplastics in the environment In recent years, there has been a growing body of research on nano- and micro-plastics and the potential risks for human health and the environment. As part of our commitments, we have been collaborating with regulators and scientists to better understand how microplastics are formed, their impact, and to propose measures to mitigate their release.

19 October 2023 The recycling and circularity potential of Styrenics Used across a wide range of everyday life applications, Styrenic polymers are one of the world's most easily sortable and recyclable materials. They can be recycled over and over again - including for food contact uses - while retaining their high-quality value. This means they have an excellent closed-loop recycling potential, allowing them to be recycled back into high-value applications.
