New polystyrene uses 50% plant-based material and breaks into fragments for potential recycling

Дата публикации: 07-10-2026 21:10:06

Polystyrene is used in protective packaging for televisions and electronic devices, in decorative boards and baseboards for interior construction, and in petri dishes. It is one of the world's most important plastics, with nearly 20 million tons produced each year. The material is predominantly derived from crude oil and is rarely recycled.

Like many other plastics, polystyrene is highly resistant to degradation in the environment.
