Polystyvert Inc.
9350, rue de l’Innovation, Anjou, Quebec, Canada
Created in 2011, this young company has received valuable support from key partners. Early on, government partners such as Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) and Technoclimat, recognized Polystyvert’s ability to have a major impact on environmental protection due to its capacity to reduce GHG emissions. Private partners, such as Cycle Capital Management and Anges Québec, also saw Polystyert’s strong potential to implement an economic model with sustainable growth.
We should not put all plastics in the same bag. The quantity of plastics that pollute the ocean represents a huge challenge for our generation and future generations. Urgent action is needed, and Polystyvert is doing its part to meet the challenge.
For example, a number of plastics slip through the recovery system for waste. These plastics could be replaced by ecological alternatives, or simply eliminated. Though recycling technologies exist, these plastic wastes often fall through the cracks. Such is the case with plastic bags and straws.
However, there is also a range of plastics that are well optimized for their function, their use, and their application. Replacing them could run the risk of using products that have a greater ecological footprint. Optimizing channels for waste collection would be a better approach in these situations. Notably, car bumpers, computer screens and in the interior of fridges are, for the most part, recovered and recycled with profitable technologies.
Polystyrene that is used for insulation is an example of a product that is especially ecological. Not only does it allow buildings to remain at a desired temperature, it circumvents energy consumption.
Coolers, made out of polystyrene for transporting pharmaceutical products or fish products in a temperature-controlled environment, are very efficient. They are lightweight containers which allow for easy transportation at a reasonable cost, while ensuring that their contents are preserved in an optimal environment.
