INEOS Styrolution, the world’s leading styrenics supplier will be showcasing it’s circular ECO product line for the Healthcare and Packaging industries at this year’s Pharmapack tradeshow, January 24-25, 2024, in Paris France. Dr. Frank Eisenträger, Market Development Manager for INEOS Styrolution, is scheduled to present on new sustainable solutions made with circular polystyrene and high-performing styrenics materials, in addition to value chain partner Eco-inject exhibiting a medical product application at booth J41 using INEOS Styrolution’s bio-circular NAS® ECO 21 BC70 (booth J41).

INEOS Styrolution has made significant strides in bringing new sustainable products to market, both based on innovative recycling technologies as well as integrating renewable bio-based solutions. Dr. Eisenträger’s presentation will highlight how customers can use bio-attributed polymers to reduce carbon emissions without compromising product safety. With certified bio-circular raw materials, polymers can be produced to enable our customers to meet their lower carbon emissions targets. In fact, with certain styrenics from INEOS Styrolution, 100% emissions reduction can be achieved, depending on the applied methodology.

The company is known for offering sustainable plug-in “ECO” solutions for most of its product portfolio in addition to conventionally produced styrenics materials. A good example is the company’s recently introduced ASA grade to address the growing market of small medical devices for home and hospital: Luran® S MED 797S SPF30, one of the first ASA materials in the market specifically for medical device housings, is also available as bio-circular version Luran S ECO MED 797S SPF30 BC40 with a 40% renewable content resulting in a carbon footprint reduction of up to 52%, all based on a mass balance process certified under ISCC PLUS.

There are a range of commercial healthcare applications based on sustainable ECO materials currently under development. One application example using INEOS Styrolution’s bio-circular grade NAS® ECO 21 BC70.can be found at booth J41 during Pharmapack 2024. The British company Eco-inject will exhibit their sustainable single use autoinjector device for pre-filled syringes.
