Nova chemicals, which has its headquarters in Canada, has just recently released its brand-new expandable polystyrene (EPS) shape molding resin, which is r625b. This resin is designed to contain 25 percent recycled content and is intended for use in protective packaging and other shape molding applications. Working in collaboration with rapac, a supplier in North America for polystyrene and expanded polystyrene recycling, Nova has developed the r625b. This product is comprised of 75 percent maiden eps from the Beaver Valley facility of Nova Chemicals, and 25 percent ecosix, which is rapac’s recycled polystyrene. In comparison to other recycled content EPS, Nova Chemicals asserts that r625b is much superior in terms of both resin consistency and technique, and that it is comparable to virgin EPS resin. Furthermore, the company claims that it does not need any extra equipment. The delivery of a standardized, high-quality, next-generation eps resin that contains recycled material to shape molders in North America is something that we are really happy about being able to do. The worldwide business director of the eps commercial enterprise at Nova Chemicals, John Thayer, made the announcement that r625b is a resin that helps to preserve natural resources and is expected to stimulate the growth of the market for eps recycling.
