Polystyrene Australia - Recycling Polystyrene

Polystyrene Australia strongly encourages and participates in programs with government, industry and the community in taking action to improve our environment and reduce waste through recycling.

Polystyrene Australia was an early signatory in 1999 to the National Packaging Covenant. As part of its Action Plan, Polystyrene Australia is coordinating a program aimed at increasing the amount of polystyrene currently being recycled. Initial activities have been aimed at recycling the scrap generated during the manufacture and filling of yoghurt tubs. In the past, this scrap went to landfill.

Recycled polystyrene is used in the manufacture of office accessories, food serving trays, refuse containers, wall and building insulation and protective packaging. It is also mixed with other recycled plastics to produce a synthetic timber for playground equipment, traffic signs and barriers, park benches and marine construction materials.
