POLYCASA®PS
POLYCASA® PS FIVE-DOT-MISSION
POLYCASA® PS extruded crystal polystyrene sheets have been assessed as part of our MISSION: TOGETHER. RESPONSIBLE. POLYCASA® PS currently achieves a FIVE-DOT classification with a total of 6 points.
Recycled content
The current production of our POLYCASA® PS sheets already contains a proportion of recycled polystyrene which is mainly recovered from our own production waste. After being sorted into individual types, the material is returned to the production process in the form of regrind. We aim to continue increasing the proportion of recycled regrind in the sheets in the future.
CO2 Footprint
POLYCASA® PS sheets contain fossil carbon as the raw material polystyrene is used in their manufacture.
Product life cycle
Our POLYCASA® PS family is made of polystyrene, a durable thermoplastic polymer which is suited to interior applications, for instance: signage, displays or glazing in picture frames, and also for sanitary ware such as shower cabins. The version featuring UV-protection ensures sheets remain colour constant for many years in interior applications.
Recyclability
POLYCASA® PS sheets can be recycled and then reused without significant impact on the material properties. Styrene based polymers can even be recycled numerous times.
