Extruded Polystyrene Industry Developments

June 2021, SUEZ Group and Airex Energy have signed a partnership to scale up the manufacturing of converting biomass remainders into biochar that can be used in a range of applications in the construction industry. The collaboration that has been in process for over six months is just the start, as said by the vice president of business development with Airex Energy. The company is located in Becancour, Que. The concept is to build biochar production plants, and the group is now searching for sites and finetuning the technology to be able to manufacture biochar on a greater scale. Biochar is being utilized in a range of industry sectors to decrease the carbon footprint as well as CO2 emissions from the atmosphere. One of the advantages of biochar is it eliminates carbon from the atmosphere and confiscates it in soils for hundreds of years.

September 2021, DuPont announced it is even more urgent that industry, policymakers, and architects work together to restrict the impact of global warming and decrease embodied carbon. The announcement came with United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 's latest landmark climate report release. Confirming its assurance of transparency, DuPont Performance Building Solutions has released an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its latest Styrofoam™ Brand ST-100 Series extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS). The new EPD ensures DuPont's practice of publishing third-party-verified EPDs for Styrofoam Brand products sold in North America, counting its abridged and low global warming potential (GWP) products launched in 2021, to aid architects and builders navigate the path to AIA2030 and address the climate crisis.
