CRITICAL MASS

摘要

Foam polystyrene is one of the most commonly used consumer packaging materials that is not commonly recycled. While this has made it a target of environmental and regulatory scrutiny, it is also motivating some companies and groups in the recycling sector to focus their attention on increasing opportunities for consumers to recycle the material. In short, stakeholders are discovering that providing opportunities to recycle foam can help programs reach diversion goals, and certain materials recovery facilities (MRFs) are finding that a focus on foam can help them meet growing resident and customer expectations.
