Japan’s first PS chemical recycling plant produces first batch

In Japan, Toyo Styrene’s 10 ton-per-day chemical recycling facility has begun commissioning process since March, 2024. It is the first polystyrene (PS) chemical recycling facility in the country.

Recently, polystyrene was successfully depolymerized and converted to on-specification product during commissioning, moving a step closer to project completion.

Agilyx depolymerization technology produces on-spec product in Japan.

The recycling plant will convert post-use polystyrene into a styrene monomer enabled by Agilyx ASA’s depolymerization technology. The styrene monomer will then be converted back into high value polystyrene products which bear a significantly lower carbon footprint than similar products made with virgin monomer.

Russ Main, interim CEO at Agilyx, notes that the successful production of on-spec product during the commissioning process at Toyo’s facility is an exciting milestone, demonstrating the efficacy of Agilyx’s technology.

Agilyx and Toyo will continue to partner and optimize the facility over the next few months.
