STYRON™ CO₂RE™ 687DI30

STYRON™ CO₂RE™ 687DI30 by Trinseo is a recycled polystyrene grade. It exhibits transparency, a difficult property to achieve with recycled content. With this material/recycling method, post-consumer recycled (PCR) material is dissolved in a solvent followed by a series of purification steps to separate the polymer from additives and contaminants. It is fed into a polymerization reactor train and the result is a PS polymer with 30% PCR. STYRON™ CO₂RE™ 687DI30 is used in applications including consumer electronics, packaging and food contact applications if a functional barrier is present to ensure compliance.
