• High quality and aesthetical surfaces.
• Recyclable ABS contributes to low ecological footprint.

January 22, 2025 - Plastivar, a global leader in edgebanding[1] production, has selected Ineos Styrolution's ABS grades for their new edgebanding collections. The products helped Plastivar to bring their new Universa product line to market, a product that is available in different colours and different textures. Together with a variety of thicknesses, heights and pattern, it offers end customers unlimited combinations to customise per respective demand. New ABS products are planned to be used in additional new collections that will be launched soon.

Plastivar says it is committed to highest standards in terms of quality, production and recyclability. Among other features, they guarantee high resistance over time, high degree of protection against degrading agents, recyclability and a low ecological footprint. According to Ineos Styrolution, its ABS materials meet Plastivar´s high expectations and allow them to offer these guarantees to their customers.

Elena Varisco, C.E.O. at Plastivar says: "We consider ABS to be the best material for our products. It guarantees a very high quality and much less polluting than other materials. The use of ABS allows us to have 99 percent of our 6,000 catalogue products recyclable. And with Ineos Styrolution's sustainable ECO materials, we even have a defined path to an even lower ecological footprint."

Olivia Vigano, Key Account Manager at Ineos Styrolution says: "Plastivar is all about quality and attention to detail. It is very motivating to work with a company that continuously innovates and always pushes the limits. I am very pleased that our products meet their expectation."

Sustainable ECO products based either on recycled materials or on bio feedstock are available as drop-in solutions for most Ineos Styrolution products.
