Cyclyx’s extensive knowledge of polystyrene waste sourcing will allow us to reach the necessary feedstock levels required to meet the increasingly high demand we are seeing for recycled polystyrene products. The opportunity to join Cyclyx as a founding member further strengthens our valued partnership and I am looking forward to being a part of the continued innovations that will certainly come from Cycylx.” says, Ricardo Cuetos, Vice President, INEOS Styrolution America, Standard Products.
