Several companies partnered on chemical recycling projects, and a commercial-scale plant signed an operations and maintenance contract in advance of it coming on-line in 2023.
Technip Energies and Agilyx have launched TruStyrenyx, branded as “the only all-in-one solution for the chemical recycling of polystyrene,” after partnering in June 2021.
TruStyrenyx combines Agilyx’s pyrolysis process and Technip Energies’ purification technology, according to a press release, to create a recycled styrene monomer with high purity.
Chris Faulkner, chief technology officer at Agilyx, said the collaboration “is completely new to the marketplace” and the high purity of the recycled styrene monomer “proves that TruStyrenyx offers a recycling solution on par with virgin materials.”

The site has the ability to add additional processing lines for a capacity of over 80,000 tons annually. It is slated to become operational in 2023.
