Polystyrene: A sustainable plastic

Polystyrene, also known as PS, is a thermoplastic that is widely used in many areas of everyday life. From packaging to electronics casings to home furnishings, polystyrene can be found in numerous products. But what makes polystyrene an environmentally friendly material? The key lies in its ability to be recycled.

Why is recycling important?

Recycling is a crucial step in the fight against pollution and climate change. By collecting used materials, recycling them and turning them into new products, we can reduce the amount of waste, reduce the burden on landfills and conserve natural resources. Plastics such as polystyrene are particularly important for the recycling process as they are often used in large quantities and make up a significant proportion of total waste.

The cycle closes: recycling polystyrene

At Schiller Plastic, we are proud that our polystyrene products are recyclable and thus make an important contribution to closing the raw material cycle. But how does polystyrene recycling work?

1. Collection and sorting: The first step in the recycling process is the collection of used polystyrene products. These can come from households, businesses or other sources. The collected materials are then sorted to remove contaminants and ensure that only pure polystyrene is recycled.

2. Shredding and cleaning: After sorting, the polystyrene products are shredded and cleaned. This process removes labels, adhesive residue and other contaminants to ensure that the recycled material is of the highest quality.

3. Melting and molding: The purified polystyrene is then melted and molded into new shapes. This can be done through different processes such as extrusion or injection molding, depending on the requirements of the final product.

4. New products: Finally, the recycled polystyrene materials are transformed into new products. These can be returned to the market and used for a wide range of applications, from packaging to building and construction materials, furniture and much more.

Our contribution to sustainability

At Schiller Plastic, we are aware of our responsibility towards the environment and are actively committed to sustainability and recycling. By using recyclable polystyrene and designing our products to be easily recycled, we are helping to close the raw material loop and create a more sustainable future.
