Agilyx announced that its depolymerization technology was successfully demonstrated during commissioning of Toyo Styrene’s polystyrene (PS) chemical recycling facility in Ichihara City, Japan. The 10 tpd recycling plant will convert post-use PS into a styrene monomer (SM). The SM will then be con-verted back into high value PS products with a lower carbon footprint than similar products made with virgin monomer, the company explained. The successful production of on-spec product during the commissioning process at Toyo’s facility is an exciting milestone. This achievement demonstrates the efficacy of Agilyx’s technology and brings us one step closer to project completion on the first polystyrene chemical recycling facility in Japan. Agilyx and Toyo will continue to work together to optimize the plant over the next few months.
