AmSty’s Styrene Team Leads in Driving the Circular Economy Forward
AmSty, a leading styrene producer in the America's, recently announced its first sales of PolyRenew® certified recycled styrene to customers in 2024.
PolyRenew® Styrene is AmSty's latest approach in sustainable product offerings. The product is made using recycled or sustainable raw materials and produced through an ISCC PLUS-verified mass balance approach. This approach guarantees that the feedstocks used are sustainable and verifiable through a third-party certification system.
JC Gonzalez, Senior Business Manager for Styrene at AmSty, is at the helm during a milestone moment for styrene – an essential material found in tires, insulation, food packaging, medical supplies and more.
"Everyone is driving to be more circular," he said. "Essentially, PolyRenew® Styrene demonstrates a further evolution of the circular economy, allowing customers to reduce their carbon footprint to better the environment."
The introduction of PolyRenew® Styrene is a major step in the company's commitment to offering products that reduce environmental impact while maintaining the high quality customers expect.
"We're providing the product for our customers to continue making their products more sustainable," said JC. "It's about enabling them to reach their own sustainability targets. We're here to support them on that journey."
What sets AmSty apart in the competitive styrene market, according to JC, is not just the innovation – it's exceptional collaboration with our customers through our sales and customer service team members.
"Our team is what makes us stand out. A lot of customers come to us because they know we'll pick up the phone," he said. "We're very accessible and we're committed to being there when our customers need us. That kind of personal connection is something that's hard to find, but it's central to what we do."
The release of PolyRenew® Styrene is just the beginning for AmSty, said JC.
As demand for sustainable materials grows, AmSty is positioned to lead the charge with solutions that help customers reduce their environmental impact while maintaining the performance and quality on which they rely.
Collaboration is important when it comes to PolyRenew® Styrene, said JC, because there is a range of different product solutions for the customer to choose from that have different characteristics relative to sustainability and carbon footprint.
He expects innovation to continue to make the future brighter.
"The demand for sustainable materials is only going to increase," said JC. "At AmSty, we're always looking for new ways to improve our products, reduce our environmental footprint and push the boundaries of what's possible."
