'Much happier' meaning that compared with the old heat-based technology, this process provides material that should make recycling easier for downstream manufacturers (more pure stock) and ultimately lead to more efficient recycling for all.

The styrene blocks are sold back to manufacturers to be included as recycled plastic content in new products. It is a commodity market material.
