Agilyx Corporation, B-Line, and Fred Meyer launched a pilot program to recycle polystyrene foam from seven of the Fred Meyer stores in the metropolitan Portland, Oregon area.
B-Line will use their fleet of tricycles to collect polystyrene from two of the downtown stores, thereby reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. All the polystyrene will be delivered to Agilyx where it will be recycled in a fully circular solution back into styrene oil. The agreement is an innovative collaboration in which a major store chain works with a “final mile” logistics company to deliver waste polystyrene for recycling.
