The fact that we\u2019re diverting such a significant amount of material from landfills shows the real impact of these channels, which aren\u2019t as visible to the public as curbside recycling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The alternative streams that drive EPS recycling keep growing, with the industry investing $185 million in recycled content resin technologies. Approximately 79 million pounds of capacity are currently operational, with an additional 150 million pounds in the works.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This has brought growing demand for recycled content EPS,\u00a0used in rigid polystyrene applications like picture frames, coat hangers, and as a concrete aggregate. It&#8217;s also present in many end markets like\u00a0building and construction materials, safety helmets, automotive applications, new packaging and furniture.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cEPS is being recycled in increasing quantities, and the growth in access and infrastructure points to more progress ahead,\u201d adds\u00a0Bowers. \u201cWith continued innovation and investment, EPS recycling can significantly contribute to a more sustainable economy.
