Polystyrene With Post-Consumer Recycled Content.
The Q-rPS® product line consists of high-quality polystyrene resins with recycled content, developed as an alternative to virgin polystyrene. These resins can be widely used in the production of everyday items such as food packaging, disposable cutlery, and other single-use products, while maintaining the quality and performance properties of the original resin.
Q-rPS® 25 contains 25 % de post-consumer polystyrene (PCPS) derived from polystyrene waste.
Post-consumer waste is collected through drop-off points and includes PS packaging such as foam cups, plates, takeaway food containers, and EPS trays.
In addition to drop-off locations, the company also partners with collection centers that provide additional collection events at specific times and locations.
