In the G7 ministerial cooperation meeting on climate change, marine pollution and clean energy, the three major leaders in packaging recycling – Liwei Polymers, Pyrowave and INEOS Benz - announced strategic cooperation The partnership works together to recycle polystyrene packaging and upgrade the recycling system. The main sources of recycling are restaurants, offices, schools and universities.
This collaboration will use the advanced recycling technology pioneered by Pyrowave. In the manufacturing process of new products and packaging, the recycling and utilization of polystyrene packaging will form a closed cycle. This solution from Canada not only reduces the amount of landfill for polystyrene packaging, but also solves the problem of plastic contamination in the marine environment.
Polystyrene can be widely used in the production of foam and rigid packaging, containers, cups and cutlery, and these containers can be used in supermarket food and beverage and take-away foods. This cycle will help the three companies change their consumers. The styrene packaging is recycled in a comprehensive, recyclable and renewable manner to maintain the best utility and value of the material in a circular economy.

Liwei Polymers, based in Sagna, Ontario, is a member of the Cyclic Polymers Group and an expert in post-treatment consumer plastics in North America. Liwei Polymers will use Pyrowave's Catalytic Microwave Depolymerization (CMD) technology. Advance the development of plastic recycling processes. Pyrowave's microwave machines can help Liwei Polymers convert polystyrene packaging into a liquid containing plastic modules. This material, called monomer, will then be in INEOS. Benzene company plays a huge role in the production process.
INEOS Benzling, based in Frankfurt, Germany, is a leading supplier of food packaging applications and consumer products, and a leader in polystyrene materials. The company will be in the final step from Liwei Polymers and Pyrowave. Materials, and return these materials to a raw resin that can be made into a new type of polystyrene product.
Pyrowave's technology is the key to linking Liwei Polymers to Ineos Benz. With the help of this technology, even with color additives and food residues, it does not affect the recycling of polystyrene.
These three companies are committed to reducing plastic waste that is ultimately landfilled or polluted by the ocean.
