General comment Recycled Polystyrene granules are typically made up of small grains and can be melted, extruded, or molded into a variety of products such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and others. They are derived from polystyrene, a plastic that usually can't be recycled locally and has to be transported to a centralized plant. However, recycling of certain types of polystyrene, such as Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) and Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), is 100% possible.
