Millions of tonnes of polystyrene (PS) are produced annually, with only an estimated 12% being recycled. Herein, the upcycling of expanded or foamed PS waste into electromechanically responsive triboelectric laminates (TLs) is described. These TLs possess internal triboelectric dipoles offering an alternative to ferroelectric fluoropolymers, and, when manufactured into triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), are able to generate over 200 V and 12 μA from motion. This energy harvesting is enabled by electrospinning alternating layers of small and large diameter PS fibers, which upon friction establish an effective dipole moment within the TL. The PS‐TENG shows remarkable stability and is able to charge a 0.47 μF capacitor to 15 V in 200 s of vibration from same material contact electrification, with piezoelectric contact‐mode testing showing that a single PS laminate is comparable to state‐of‐the‐art piezoelectric fluoropolymers for overall electromechanical conversion.
