For the first time ever, AmSty is now using recycled polystyrene, known as recycled styrene monomer (RSM), converted from waste by Agilyx as feedstock for its world-scale styrene production facility in St. James, Louisiana. This means the styrene made from waste products can become indistinguishable from virgin styrene (making the recycled materials more cost-competitive with virgin materials).

For the first time ever, AmSty is now using recycled polystyrene, known as recycled styrene monomer (RSM), converted from waste by Agilyx as feedstock for its world-scale styrene production facility in St. James, Louisiana.

Why it Matters
Recycling is a business and anything that makes the recycled product more closely resemble the non-recycled product makes the recycled product more valuable. This means it’ll be used to produce more products and could—eventually—make it unnecessary to produce new products. Using waste polystyrene to eventually make styrene (and then polystyrene) closes the loop on polystyrene products—the waste becomes the building material which becomes the product which becomes the waste which becomes the building material and on and on and on.
Plastic waste is a valuable resource, and we’re missing an opportunity to do more. You can be a part of a positive change. Join the grassroots movement and contact your elected official with the click of a button.
