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.

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.
