Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The polystyrene recycling start-up Polystyvert plans to build its first commercial-scale plant, in Montreal. Polystyvert uses a solvent to remove the contaminants from postconsumer polystyrene; the result is a recycled product that requires 90% less greenhouse gas emissions to produce than virgin material, the company says. The plant will cost $40 million and will have the capacity to process 9,000 metric tons of polystyrene waste per year. Separately, the company is developing a process to recycle the engineering plastic acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and is planning a $3 million pilot plant.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
