Trinseo Features Prominently at K Show 2019 Highlighting Rethinking Innovation

Trinseo (NYSE: TSE), the global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber, will showcase its solutions-oriented approach to rethinking innovation at K Show 2019, the world’s number one trade fair for plastics and rubber, taking place from October 16-23 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Going beyond typical product development, the Company is focused on delivering forward-looking solutions that not only meet sustainability needs, but also enable Trinseo customers to capture shifting trends in mobility, digitization, and population growth with products that deliver true market differentiation.

Since the last K Show in 2016, Trinseo has continued to prioritize progressive thinking in its businesses, recently announcing a first-of-its-kind polystyrene chemical recycling facility to be built in Europe. The materials manufacturer will expand upon these innovative efforts at this year’s K Show, where executives will outline a plan to offer an average of 30% recycled content to customers for polystyrene packaging in Europe by 2025.

“At Trinseo, we are constantly rethinking what’s possible in sustainability and material solutions. Leading companies in the automotive, construction, consumer technology, and healthcare industries all face challenges in delivering better, more sustainable products, because future trends in mobility, digitization, and a growing population are fundamentally changing how we live, work, and drive. Trinseo solutions make cars lighter weight; make buildings more energy efficient and make medical and consumer technology devices durable and safe,” said Tim Stedman, senior vice president, strategy and corporate development.

As a leader in sustainability, Trinseo not only develops market-leading products – including polycarbonate containing up to 95% post-consumer recycled content – but has also made strides to embed environmental and social responsibility into their company culture and operations. A founding member of Styrenics Circular Solutions (SCS), a consortium that explores new methods for polystyrene recycling, Trinseo has helped to instill more sustainable practices and to advance adoption of technologies that will reduce waste and increase circularity throughout the supply chain.
