From Troy Shantz, the Sarnia Journal.
A cutting-edge Sarnia recycling company has joined an international partnership to reduce the mountains of hard-to-recycle polystyrene plastic going to landfills and polluting waterways.
“This is a game-changer for consumers and for municipal and industrial, commercial and institutional recycling programs,” said Keith Bechard, chief commercial officer at Sarnia-based ReVital Polymers.
“Polystyrene packaging, regardless of colour, food residue or odours, can be very successfully added to recycling programs.”
The strategic partnership announced last month involves Revital, Montreal-based Pyrowave Inc. and Germany’s INEOS Styrolution.
Single-serve polystyrene products such as foam coffee cups, food packaging and utensils used in supermarkets and take-out restaurants will be recycled, turned into a virgin resin and used to make new products.
