PLASTICS announces formation of Polystyrene Recycling Alliance

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) has formed the Polystyrene Recycling Alliance (PSRA) to increase the availability and effectiveness of polystyrene recycling in the U.S. The initiative brings together various stakeholders, from manufacturers to recyclers, with the shared goal of achieving widespread recyclability for polystyrene by 2030. RRS is playing a role by helping guide the strategy through a detailed plan that focuses on expanding recycling systems and raising awareness about sustainable practices.

“Our focus is to expand end-of-life recycling options for all types of polystyrene through strategic investments and partnerships with other stakeholders committed to a circular plastics economy.”
