Trinseo and BASF Announce Business Collaboration on Circular Feedstock
Trinseo and BASF announced the intention to expand their businesses with the production of styrene based on circular feedstock. The collaboration aims to increase efforts by both companies in the development and management of styrene featuring an improved environmental profile.
Trinseo has recently been procuring first supplies of the synthetical chemical styrene based on circular feedstock from BASF for use in its Solution-Styrene Butadiene Rubber (S-SBR) and polystyrene (PS) products. Trinseo supplies S-SBR to major tires manufacturers while its PS products are used in applications such as food packaging and appliances. The first few customers have already processed the material.
