Polstyrene, aka styrofoam, has been one of our more easily recycled materials since at least the 90s, IIRC. New methods of recycling won't change this. The reason it is not recycled is because the factors that make it so useful: high bulk, low mass for shipping and insulation also make it uneconomical when recycling is paid for by the ton. You would need to change the entire recycling economic model for polystyrene to be heavily recycled.
