Denka расширила линейку продуктов с химической переработкой после запуска Toyo Styrene

Denka expands ISCC PLUS styrenics with Refresh Polystyrene KEY POINTS - Denka expands styrenics products with chemical-recycling attributes after Toyo Styrene starts full-scale Refresh Polystyrene supply - ISCC PLUS mass-balance allocation extends circular attributes to BOPS sheets, food-packaging sheets and Denka Polymer food containers - Denka targets broader use in functional resins, including SBC resin Cliallen, under the D-NODE recycling brand Denka Co. said on Aug. 26 that it will accelerate the market rollout of styrene-based products carrying environmental value derived from chemical recycling, following the start of full-scale supply of Refresh Polystyrene, a recycled polystyrene made from used polystyrene by consolidated subsidiary Toyo Styrene Co. The expansion broadens Denka Group's lineup of styrenics products assigned circular attributes under the mass-balance approach used in ISCC PLUS certification. Under that method, when fossil-based and recycled feedstocks are mixed, the sustainability attribute of a specified input can be allocated to part of the output. In addition to polystyrene already on the market, the expanded lineup will cover biaxially oriented polystyrene sheets, or BOPS, food-packaging sheets, and food containers manufactured by consolidated subsidiary Denka Polymer Co. Customers will be able to choose products with assigned environmental value while maintaining the same quality and performance as conventional products, the company said. Denka Group has been promoting resource circulation for styrenic materials under its D-NODE brand. As part of that effort, Denka and Toyo Styrene have focused on monomer-based chemical recycling, in which used polystyrene is chemically decomposed back into styrene monomer and then reused to make styrenic products. Denka is also considering extending the approach to functional resins and related product areas, including its SBC resin Cliallen, in response to customer demand. Chemical recycling has drawn attention in the plastics industry as manufacturers seek to increase recycled content in applications where consistent material performance is required. ISCC PLUS certification is used by chemicals and plastics producers to track and allocate recycled or bio-based feedstock attributes through complex production systems. Denka said it aims to expand the market for chemically recycled products while promoting horizontal recycling of used styrenic products. © Copyright 2026 IBTimes JP. All rights reserved.
