Polystyvert - Polystyrene Recycling Technology

Polystyvert has developed a unique dissolution technology for recycling polystyrene. Polystyrene is placed in contact with an essential oil (solvent) that dissolves it in seconds. This essential oil is very safe, and can easily be reused to recycle more material. The mixture of dissolved polystyrene and essential oil is then purified to attain a high level of purity for the next step: the separation of polystyrene from the essential oil. This separation process lies at the heart of our innovative technology, which is currently patent-pending. It overcomes the main challenge of recycling polystyrene. Even a trace amount of essential oil is enough to impact the quality of recycled polystyrene. The final recycled product is pelletized, while the essential oil is also recycled for the next dissolution cycle.
