From Recycling Today – November 18, 2025
The Polystyrene Recycling Alliance (PSRA), a Washington-based organization working toward polystyrene (PS) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) recycling solutions, has partnered with Brave Industries, a consortium of independent recyclers with operations across the U.S.
PSRA says the partnership aims to expand the collection and recycling of all types of PS, including rigid nonfoam applications (HIPS/GPPS) and foam formats (EPS/XPS) for processing and delivery to responsible end markets for use in new products.
The initiative will launch in Denver and Baltimore, two regions at the forefront of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) implementation. PSRA says it will support the project with grants for collection infrastructure, allowing Brave to expand their reach and capacity for collecting and recycling all types of PS.
