Ineos Styrolution America LLC and Pyrowave, a leader in catalytic microwave depolymerization of plastics have entered into a strategic partnership to support Pyrowave’s North American polystyrene recycling project.
The objective of this project is to demonstrate the recyclability of post-consumer polystyrene packaging using Pyrowave’s innovative catalytic microwave depolymerization (CMD) technology. This consortium project will be represented with various actors from the value chain of the polystyrene industry, and Ineos is the first manufacturer to join the consortium.
Pyrowave’s principal advantage is the modularity of its technology, which is intended to be installed and operated in existing sorting facilities, similar to other recycling equipment. Also, its unique microwave technology is the first of its kind at commercial scale and generates particular high yields of monomers with a very low energy consumption. Pyrowave spent three years exploring the technology on post-consumer polystyrene waste, and now, Pyrowave is operating a full-scale machine in Montreal, Canada. Pyrowave’s next phase is to deploy units in the field and demonstrate its business model with a strong consortium of industry leaders, representing the value chain.
