NOVA Chemicals Introduces Recycled Content EPS Shape Molding Resin
Pittsburgh, PA (May 21, 2013) - NOVA Chemicals today announced the release of
its new R625B Expandable Polystyrene ("EPS") Shape Molding Resin for protective
packaging and other shape molding applications.
NOVA Chemicals worked with RAPAC, a leader in North America for polystyrene and
expanded polystyrene recycling, to develop and launch this new resin containing
25% recycled content - helping molders and brand owners achieve their
sustainability goals.
"We are excited to deliver a consistent, high-quality, next generation EPS resin
with recycled content to North American shape molders. R625B is a resin that
conserves natural resources and is expected to spur market development of EPS
recycling," said John Thayer, Global Business Director of the EPS Business at
NOVA Chemicals.
Recyclability awareness of EPS continues to grow as manufacturers target more
recycled content in their packaging to help meet sustainability goals. R625B
contains 75% virgin EPS from NOVA Chemicals Beaver Valley facility and 25%
EcoSix(TM), RAPAC recycled polystyrene. Compared to alternative recycled content
EPS products, R625B is measuredly improved in both resin consistency and
processes similar to virgin EPS resin with no additional equipment needed.
NOVA Chemicals' R625B using RAPAC's EcoSix(TM) resin is made available to meet
the demand for recycled content resins by North American EPS shape molders.
