The future of polystyrene recycling has never been brighter, with collaboration and innovation driving sustainable solutions forward! In his recent blog post, Tim Barnette, Vice President of Polymers & Sustainability at AmSty, explores the significant progress the industry is making and how the Polystyrene Recycling Alliance (PSRA) is correcting the misconception that polystyrene isn't recyclable. Key Insights: -Polystyrene is vital in many everyday products, including food packaging and medical applications, and safety gear -105 million Americans already have access to recycle multiple types of polystyrene and that number is expected to grow to half to two-thirds by 2030 -Innovative technologies are advancing rapidly, enabling increased recycling and repurposing of post-use polystyrene into new products Polystyrene is a recyclable material with huge potential as an environmental solution. Achieving this potential requires collaboration, that’s why industry leaders like AmSty and Encina, along with many others, are coming together with a shared intention: improving recycling access, driving innovation, and making strategic investments in infrastructure to enable real transformation. #PolystyreneRecycling #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy https://lnkd.in/gkrDNGPv

Kicking Off Safety with Great Food & Even Better Company! Today, we came together under the pavilion for our Safety Kickoff Celebration, enjoying a beautiful day, a great meal, and meaningful conversations about workplace safety. This event wasn’t just for our team—it was open to the entire plant, including our contractors, reinforcing that safety is a shared responsibility across our site. Along with good food and great company, we took the time to focus on important safety discussions, ensuring that we all remain committed to a culture of safety and well-being. A special thank you to the members of our safety team who not only helped organize the event but also took the time to serve food to employees, demonstrating that safety and teamwork go hand in hand. A big thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success! #SafetyFirst #Teamwork #SafetyCulture #WeAreAmSty

At AmSty, we love celebrating the cultures that shape our communities! With Black History Month and Mardi Gras happening so close together, we hosted a special panel where team members shared their personal Mardi Gras experiences while exploring its deep historical ties to Black history. To sweeten the celebration, we provided king cakes at all sites—each with a bit of Mardi Gras history inside. With colleagues joining in person and via Teams, we reflected, learned, and celebrated together—a great way to embrace history, culture, and connection! Laissez les bons temps rouler! #BlackHistoryMonth #MardiGras #TeamCulture #AmSty
