Belgian company Orac, a leader in decorative interior design, has chosen INEOS Styrolution’s sustainable bio-attributed materials for its new 3D Duropolymer® wall panels, marking a substantial move towards sustainability. The new line will feature Styrolution® PS ECO 485N BC90, containing 90% bio-attributed feedstock, and Styrolution® PS ECO 158N BC100, with 100% bio-attributed feedstock. Both materials are crafted from renewable feedstock through a mass balance process, certified by ISCC PLUS, ensuring eco-friendly production standards.
This collaboration highlights Orac’s commitment to sustainability with the 2024 launch of its 100% bio-circular Duropolymer® panels. While Duropolymer® has long been part of Orac’s product range, the company’s innovative approach now redefines its lifecycle. By combining bio-attributed feedstocks with recycled postconsumer and post-industrial waste, Orac achieves a fully bio-circular product. The ISCC PLUS certification for Orac’s bio-circular panels further underscores the integrity of its environmental efforts, setting a new benchmark for responsible decorative solutions.
“We are fully committed to leveraging our resources as a company to address climate change. Our goals of achieving carbon positivity by 2050 and bio-circularity by 2045 are both ambitious and essential. These targets demand large-scale innovation, and our partnership with INEOS Styrolution is a major step in driving us toward these objectives,” says Miguel Knockaert, R&D Director at Orac.
Leveraging INEOS Styrolution’s high-performance sustainable materials, Orac is now able to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly products while preserving the design flexibility and renowned quality that define their brand. This partnership highlights the environmental advantages of mass-balanced, bio-attributed materials and underscores both companies’ dedication to advancing innovation in sustainable interior design.
“Orac’s selection of our sustainable bio-attributed materials for their 3D Duropolymer® wall panels showcases our commitment to eco-friendly solutions. Made from renewable feedstocks and recycled materials, our ISCCcertified polystyrene grades support Orac’s sustainability goals. We look forward to further collaboration on additional sustainable options,” concluded Ute Braunewell, Account Manager North & East Europe.
