    Waste management company Indaver and producer INEOS Styrolution recently announced the successful laboratory-scale production of ABS from recycled styrene (ABrS)
    .
    The first 10 kilograms of material were produced in INEOS Styrolution's laboratory in Cologne, Germany, and processed by research and development partner Neue Materialien Bayreuth GmbH

    .
    According to reports, tests have shown that the material has no measurable difference in performance from the virgin material, but can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30%

    .

    The successful proof-of-concept for the production of ABS from recycled material is an important milestone for the Absolute Cycles research project, according to the two partners
    .
    The project is funded by the EU LIFE programme, which provides financial support for initiatives that promote environmental and resource efficiency

    .

    “With the near-commissioning of the Antwerp polystyrene recycling plant and the ABrS mini-plant, we will take another important step towards producing ABS from recycled material on a commercial scale,
    ” said Petra Inghelbrecht, research project leader at ABSolutely Circular
    .

    With the imminent completion and commissioning of the ABrS mini-plant, we will take another important step towards producing ABS from recycled material on a commercial scale
    .
    ” said Petra Inghelbrecht, head of the ABSolutely Circular research project

    .

    The four-year project was launched in October 2020
    .
    At the time, INEOS Styrolution emphasized that it wanted to unlock the properties of styrene in a more sustainable way

    .
    ABS copolymer has the advantages of strong structure, stable size, light weight, and food contact requirements, and is widely used in automotive, medical care, electronics, household and other fields
