A Polystyrene Recycling Alliance has been established by the Plastics Industry Association. In addition to brands, converters, and recyclers, the alliance include members from the PS and EPS industries. Achieving "widely recyclable status" from How2Recycle for PS is the aim.According to a news release from PIA president and CEO Matt Seaholm, the partnership "is a huge step forward for polystyrene sustainability." 

He went on to say, "Polystyrene is recyclable by nature, is being recycled now, and will be recycled on a much larger scale in the future." 

How2Recycle, a division of GreenBlue, publishes labels for packaging that companies can utilize. Environmental marketing claims are governed by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Green Guides, which the label structure is made to comply with.

GREENMAX believes that if enough funds are invested, recycling expanded polystyrene will not be difficult, especially if appropriate recycling equipment is selected. Recycling expanded polystyrene will not be difficult. GREENMAX polystyrene compator can provide high-quality foam compression services. More importantly, compressed expanded styrene is now a valuable raw material, so investment in polystyrene compactor will not cause financial losses. First of all, this equipment is extremely cost-effective and not expensive. Secondly, this is a sustainable project. Currently, recycled material is a relatively popular raw material, and the price is relatively objective. The compression ratio of GREENMAX polystyrene compactor can reach 50:1. It is an energy-saving equipment and the compression ratio is not low. It is a better cold pressing equipment. If you want to know about hot melt equipment, you can also consult us at any time.

Additionally, with continued and planned industry investment in recycling capabilities, PSRA expects recycling pathways for many polystyrene forms and applications to reach ‘widely recyclable status’ by 2030. “We will work together across the value chain and invest in infrastructure and education to accelerate progress. What broadly recyclable means is that at least 60% of Americans can divert materials through curbside recycling or drop-off recycling. This will be a relatively long development, and recycling can be carried out by placing polystyrene compactors in places where the release points are concentrated.
