Sustainability

Our Long-Term Vision:

All polystyrene products are infinitely recyclable

This is where it all begins.

At AmSty, we challenge ourselves daily to safely create products and services that make life better for people around the world. We embrace and promote a culture of sustainability by doing more with less, today and tomorrow.

Our Sustainability Beliefs

The Plastics Recycling System Isn't Working.

This is a solvable problem that requires innovation and care.

Recycling Must Be Simplified.

For everyone to participate, all plastics should go into one recycling bin.

Disposable Products Are Needed.

When they are necessary, they should be made from the most sustainable material possible.

System Improvements Are Necessary.

We're commited to investing in improvements to ensure the growth of polystyrene sustainability.

Our Circular Recycling Process

Solving the plastics recycling challenge means creating alternative uses for products that would end up in landfills.

At AmSty, that’s why we’re forging ahead with an innovative circular recycling technology that takes used polystyrene products and returns them to the same product with their original quality and durability.
