INEOS Styrolution and Agilyx Advance Polystyrene Chemical Recycling Plant in Channahon, Illinois

The facility will be capable of processing up to 100 tons per day of post-consumer polystyrene and converting it into a styrene product that will go into the manufacturing of new polystyrene products. The facility will leverage Agilyx's proprietary chemical recycling technology, which breaks polystyrene down to its molecular base monomers that will be used for the creation of new styrenic polymers. This is a true circular recycling approach that enables everyday products, like a cup, to be recycled back into a cup. Agilyx recently completed a successful development program for INEOS Styrolution that qualified the styrene product to INEOS' specifications and the identified post-consumer polystyrene feedstock for the process. The next phase of the project advances the engineering and design of the facility.
