Agilyx's new technology enables recycling of flame retardant insulation

Source：Adsale Plastics Network Date ：2021-08-12 Editor ：JK

Agilyx Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Agilyx AS and a pioneer in the advanced recycling of post-use plastics, announced a significant milestone in their collaboration with a strategic technology partner which will allow for the recycling of brominated flame retardant-laden polystyrene into a high purity styrene monomer for direct use in downstream products including PS, EPS, ABS, SBR, SAN and Unsaturated Polyester Resins.

Agilyx technology provides the capability to recycle previously unrecyclable flame retardant insulation.

The integrated technologies of Agilyx depolymerization open the pathway for previously unrecycled materials, such as construction foam and insulation, to be put back into use as new materials at a quality level equivalent to those manufactured from any other styrene monomer. These materials can then be used for any application from building materials to food containers.

“This new advancement in our advanced recycling capabilities truly demonstrates the excellence of Agilyx’s collaborations,” said Tim Stedman, chief executive officer of Agilyx. “The ability to recycle flame retardant-laden polystyrene not only allows this contaminated material to be part of a sustainable recycling value chain, but it will open up new markets that were previously closed due to the contamination associated with these materials.”
