A squat, light-colored building in Tigard, Oregon, was supposed to be part of a game-changing new solution for the global plastics industry. Called Regenyx, this recycling facility took in polystyrene — a hard-to-recycle plastic used for products like coffee cups, egg cartons and meat trays — and melted it right down to its building blocks, ready to be made into new products.
“No one’s cracking the nut” of how to deal with the wide variety of plastics people use every day, Congdon said. The process also requires large amounts of energy to prepare the waste, heat the reactor and separate the chemicals, said Taylor Uekert, a research analyst at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory who researches plastics recycling.
