A Styrofoam recycling plant opened today in Terneuzen, in the Dutch province of Zeeland, in what it says is the first of its kind in the world
.

The plant will recycle around 3,300 tonnes of Styrofoam per year, mainly from the construction industry
.

Construction of the plant will cost a total of 14 million euros
.
The European Commission contributed 2.
7 million euros, the province of Zeeland contributed 1 million and the rest came from investors
.

The company's founder and president, Lein Tange, thinks far ahead, telling local media Omroep Zeeland: "Every year, Europe throws away a lot of Styrofoam
.
So there's definitely room to expand
.
"

For now, he is focusing on the current plant, "We hope to demonstrate economic and technical feasibility in the coming months
.
" Ultimately, he aims to build a plant capable of processing 12,000 tons of polystyrene foam per year
.

The old polystyrene foam waste is compressed in this factory, it is ground and dissolved in a solvent, the result is the styrofoam that turns into a gel, which eventually turns into pellets that can be used as raw material for new polystyrene foam, It can also be used as a raw material for the manufacture of plastic cutlery, plates and cups
