Niagara recycling gives styrofoam new life

[projekktor id=’25805′]

Niagara hopes more than 2 million dollars in new technology will improve the way the region recycles. Earlier this week two pieces of machinery were unveiled at the Recycling Centre in Niagara Falls. One of them breaks down styrofoam which is later turned items like picture frames.

At the Kent Avenue Recycling Centre styrofoam is given a second life. It’s sorted, broken down and then remade into products like picture frames, office supplies and crown moulding.

Niagara Recycling says the new machines add about $600, 000 in revenue every year.
