Recycled Polystyrene (RPS)

WCI RPS Compound is a thermoplastic grade engineered from a blend of post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) polystyrene waste. By incorporating recycled feedstock, it retains the lightweight nature, rigidity, and thermal insulation properties of virgin PS while delivering significant environmental benefits.

Designed to advance circular economy practices, WCI RPS Compound reduces plastic waste, lowers environmental footprint, and enables sustainable sourcing. With its balanced formulation, it ensures good processability across injection molding, extrusion, and compounding, making it suitable for a wide range of cost-effective applications.

Benefits of Recycled Polystyrene

Reduces petroleum consumption

Reduces plastic waste

Cheaper than virgin polystyrene

Helps the environment

Uses less energy in production
