The recycling firm Agilyx and the polystyrene maker Americas Styrenics plan to build a plant that will convert post­consumer polystyrene plastics into the raw material styrene at AmSty’s styrene plant in St. James, Louisiana. A feasibility study for the plant, which would have 50–100 metric tons per day of capacity, is underway. The partners have worked together before, including operating a waste polystyrene depolymerization plant in Tigard, Oregon, since 2019. And with Ineos Styrolution they are planning a similar facility in Channahon, Illinois.
