conventionally produced material
FRANKFURT, Germany,
July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, announced
today that POGS, a leading innovator in audio solutions for young
listeners, has selected the ECO version of one of the
company's high-performance NovodurĀ® grades for a new range of
headphones for children. The new headsets are available in stores
today.
POGS produces safe and durable headphones specifically for
children. Designed to offer the safest listening experience for
sensitive, developing ears, the range of headphones feature
advanced technologies that limit sound output to between 70 and 85
decibels. Committed to safety, durability and sustainable
innovation, POGS offers headphones that inspire responsible audio
enjoyment for the next generation.
Novodur P2H-AT combines easy processing, high impact resistance
and heat distortion with a high-quality surface finish. It offers
excellent mechanical properties with a highly aesthetic and
colourful appearance. The material is available in various
sustainable ECO versions containing 30%, 50% or 70% contributions
of post-consumer mechanical recycled ABS.
Compared to conventionally produced Novodur P2H-AT, the three
options offer a CO2e footprint reduction of 21%, 38% and
57%, respectively. Novodur ECO's feedstock is sourced from WEEE
(waste electrical and electronic equipment), which is mainly
comprised of household appliances and tools, televisions, and
computers that have reached the end of their life.
Adam de Beer, Marketing lead at
POGS states: "We are dedicated to delivering products that ensure
the safest audio experience for young listeners while minimising
environmental impact throughout our manufacturing processes. Our
goal is to consistently utilise the highest quality, safest, and
most sustainable materials in our products. INEOS Styrolution has

solutions for our latest products: the Gecko 2, Elephant 2, and

plastic solution that aligns with our commitment to safety,
durability, and sustainability."
Dr. Christian Ruthard, Product
Manager ECO EMEA adds: "We are particularly pleased to offer POGS
an option that not only ensures a high-class surface appearance,
but also allows for a variety of colours in the final product."
