SEATTLE (Waste 360): The Clark County Recycling Center has used a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to buy and install a machine that processes polystyrene foam, better known as Styrofoam.
The recycling center bought the machine for $40,000—$30,000 of which was paid for via the Ohio EPA grant. The machine grinds the foam into tiny pieces, which are then heated and pushed through a tube. According to a Springfield News-Sun report, the device can accept packaging from TVs, appliances, computers and furniture; it cannot accept packaging peanuts, food packaging or materials with colored polystyrene.
