Driving emissions transparency: INEOS Styrolution rolls out product carbon footprint calculations across global portfolio
FRANKFURT, Germany, June 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- INEOS Styrolution now provides Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) data for all its products using a state-of-the-art tool, delivering transparent emissions data from raw material sourcing through manufacturing up until the factory gate. PCF data is calculated using the Atos PCF platform, with the methodology certified by TÜV Rheinland. With this data, customers can track scope 3.1 emissions for every product they purchase from INEOS Styrolution, supporting more accurate reporting, compliance with climate-related requirements, and increased supply chain transparency. "By measuring the carbon footprint of our global product portfolio, we take responsibility for our impact while enabling our customers to do the same," states Steve Harrington, CEO, INEOS Styrolution. "This tool enables us to be transparent about our emissions and product carbon footprints, while equipping our customers with the data they need to target scope 3 reductions and meet their climate targets." With automated, product-level carbon footprint calculations according to a certified methodology in place, INEOS Styrolution is among the few in the chemical industry offering its customers product-specific emissions data across its entire offering. Further information: Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) refers to the total greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product, from raw material extraction through manufacturing to the point it leaves the production site. This "cradle-to-gate" view helps companies and customers better understand the climate impact of individual products and identify opportunities to reduce emissions across the value chain. INEOS Styrolution's PCF methodology follows international standards, including ISO 14067:2018, the Together for Sustainability (TfS) PCF Guideline (V3.0), and the GHG Protocol. Scope 3 emissions refer to indirect greenhouse gas emissions that occur in the value chain of the reporting company – such as those from raw material production, logistics, product use, or disposal. Scope 3.1, a key subcategory, includes emissions from purchased goods and services – typically the largest share of emissions for manufacturing companies. About INEOS Styrolution INEOS Styrolution is the number one producer of high-performance styrenics, offering a broad portfolio that comprises styrene monomer, polystyrene, ABS, and advanced styrenics. The company delivers customised solutions for customers across automotive, healthcare, electronics, household, construction, packaging, toys, sports and leisure sectors.

Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia tells some members to evacuate over high benzene levels
Social Sharing The band council for Aamjiwnaang First Nation near Sarnia, Ont., is telling some of its members to evacuate their homes due to elevated emissions of a toxic chemical from a nearby plant. "Please be advised that due to reported high benzene levels today, June 13, 2025, at the Ada Lockridge and AFN Sportscenter monitors, we are recommending an evacuation of members living between Churchill Road and the first set of tracks on Tashmoo Ave.," the Aamjiwnaang Band Council said Friday. The council told affected residents to evacuate to the community centre. "We have deployed an additional mobile monitor to this area and determine if an additional evacuation is required," the band council said. "We will provide updates as they become available." It's not the first time the first nation has had to evacuate due to high levels of benzene. The federal and provincial governments previously ordered the company that owns the plant to curb emissions of the chemical after people in Aamjiwnaang reported falling ill. The company, INEOS Styrolution, has since said it would be shuttering the facility altogether. Earlier this month, INEOS Styrolution said it was starting "the final phase of safely decommissioning process units and pipelines" at the facility. On Friday afternoon, INEOS said it had completed the decommissioning work that was initially scheduled to last until June 19. INEOS had previously warned that elevated flaring would take place during the decommissioning. "We sincerely appreciate the community's patience and understanding throughout this process," the company said in a statement. In an alert earlier Friday morning, the company said it was "notifying the community as a proactive precaution that hourly benzene emissions on-site have been detected above 67.5 micrograms per cubic metre. "Additional notifications may occur, however there is no expected impact on the community," the alert said. "We appreciate the community's patience throughout a challenging decommissioning period and can verify the process is now complete."

Benzene alert blamed on ‘messaging system error'
An alert issued this week by INEOS Styrolution about elevated benzene levels at its Sarnia facility has since been retracted, with the company citing a 'messaging system error.' A follow-up clarification was issued today, stating that no exceedances occurred on May 5. The original message, distributed through the Sarnia-Lambton Alerts system on May 5, stated that 'hourly benzene emissions on-site have been detected above 0.021 parts-per million (67.5 µg/m³).' That figure matches the company's internal 'proactive alert' threshold — a level set below Ontario's regulatory one-hour ambient air quality criterion (AAQC) for benzene of 90 µg/m³ (approximately 0.028 ppm). A second message, issued at 7:06 a.m. on May 7, repeated the same language from the original alert and described the notification as a 'proactive precaution.' INEOS stated that emissions reduction efforts would be identified if abnormal conditions were present, and emphasized that no adverse effects were expected. Later that same day, a correction was issued at 3:01 p.m., reading: 'CORRECTION to the notifications sent May 5th [10:53 and 11:09 a.m.] Due to a messaging system error, two community notifications were incorrectly distributed yesterday. We would like to clarify that no on-site emissions at our Sarnia facility have exceeded 0.021 parts per million (67.5 µg/m³) on May 5, 2025.' INEOS has not explained why the May 7, 7:06 a.m. alert repeated the exceedance language just hours before issuing the correction. As of publication, no retraction or clarification has appeared on the BASES (Binational Air Quality and Environmental Strategy) public notification platform, where the original alert was posted. In response to questions from The Sarnia Journal, INEOS said the company uses a proactive alert threshold of 0.021 ppm to notify the public before reaching Ontario's regulatory limit. The company confirmed that no exceedances occurred on May 5, 6, or 7 and that emissions remained below the 90 µg/m³ limit. However, it did not address questions about whether that threshold was exceeded on other dates, the cause of the messaging error, or what safeguards exist to prevent similar notification issues in the future. OOntario's one-hour air quality limit for benzene, the maximum amount allowed in outdoor air over a one-hour period, is 90 micrograms per cubic metre (µg/m³). INEOS's internal alert threshold (67.5 µg/m³) represents approximately 75% of that regulatory limit and is described by the company as a proactive measure to inform the community in advance of any regulatory breach. Benzene is a volatile organic compound used in petrochemical processing and plastics manufacturing. It is listed as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and is classified as carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Long-term exposure can increase the risk of leukemia and other blood disorders, while short-term exposure to high levels may cause symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, or drowsiness. The alerts were issued during INEOS Styrolution's ongoing benzene removal plan at the Sarnia site, which includes pipeline transfers and the emptying of an on-site benzene tank. The company has stated that emissions controls are in place and no off-site health impacts are anticipated.
