-- FOR NEW HEADSETS FOR CHILDREN

- Selected material: Novodur® ECO P2H-AT MR50

- CO2e reduction of up to 57%, compared to conventionally produced material

FRANKFURT, Germany July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire=연합뉴스/ -- 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 Novodur® 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 proven to be a dependable partner in developing robust and durable solutions for our latest products: the Gecko 2, Elephant 2, and Turtle. We are pleased that this partnership has resulted in a 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."
