Polystyrene is a naturally transparent and synthetic thermoplastic extracted from a styrene monomer. It is typically available in two forms – Solid Plastic and rigid foam material. Its main characteristic includes softening when applied to heat, and its films and sheets can be transformed into various products used in different applications. It is one of the largest plastic commodities in terms of the market size (holding approximately 7% of the global thermoplastic market).

When combined with various colorants, additives or other plastics, polystyrene is used to make a variety of products including appliances, electronics, automobile parts, toys, gardening pots and equipment and more.

As a hard, solid plastic, it is often used in products that require clarity, such as food packaging and laboratory equipment.

Polystyrene foodservice packaging typically insulates better, keeps food fresher longer and costs less than alternatives.
