Versalis kicks off mechanical recycling of styrenic waste in Porto Marghera

At the historic petrochemical site of Porto Marghera, in northeastern Italy, the transition from basic chemicals to the circular economy has officially begun with the inauguration of Versalis’s mechanical recycling plant for post-consumer styrenic waste. The facility will be capable of producing up to 20,000 tonnes per year of expanded polystyrene (rEPS) and general-purpose polystyrene (rGPPS), with a recycled content of up to 100%, using secondary raw materials derived from expanded polystyrene waste—initially sourced from the construction sector.
