Polystyrene Safety
Polystyrene Safety
Is Polystyrene Safe?
Many consumers today have questions about the safety of plastics, particularly when it comes to food and beverage packaging, containers and trays.
At AmSty, we take pride in offering polystyrene plastic solutions that prioritize safety, sustainability and responsibility. Our polystyrene resins, designed through innovations that prioritize sustainability, are more than just material; they reflect our commitment to quality and the health and well-being of those who use polystyrene products.
-
Polystyrene plastic is an inert material – meaning it does not react chemically (or breakdown) when it comes in contact with other materials or substances around it. For example, you can store water, soap or gasoline in a plastic container without dissolving the container itself. That’s one of the reasons it’s such a valuable material.
-
Polystyrene is developed in strict adherence to stringent regulatory standards. With a firm endorsement from FDA for safe use in contact with food, our polystyrene resins are not only versatile, but embody the highest standards of health and safety.
-
We go beyond compliance by ensuring our resins are free from toxic substances.
We believe in delivering polystyrene resins that not only meet the needs of our customers and consumers, but that reflect our unwavering dedication to ethical and responsible practices.
