International. GreenMantra Technologies and Sun Chemical have agreed to partner to develop polymers from recycled polystyrene waste for use in ink formulations.
The agreement combines GreenMantra's new patent-pending process for converting residual polystyrene into useful polymers with Sun Chemical's expertise in ink formulation.
The goal is to develop sustainable styrenic polymers as a replacement for fossil fuel-based materials in certain ink applications.
"Our team of scientists has had great success in the laboratory applying our technology and process to achieve the depolarization of polystyrene, rigid and foam waste, into styrenic polymers suitable for inks and other applications," said Domenic Di Mondo, senior director of research and business development at GreenMantra. "We look forward to working with sun chemical's experts to further refine these materials for commercial use."
