It’s more of a NYS thing than a federal thing. Blame Biden if you want, but this shutdown is blamed squarely on NYS regs on the polystyrene food container ban. So, “Let’s go, BANdon,” is more appopriate.
Just one more business fleeing New Yorkistan, in a near endless line of businesses running for the exits. From my experience selling in the manufacturing sector in NY since the 1970’s, I watched as one after another got the Hell out!
Paper mills; foundries; metals plants; countless industrial manufacturers; food manufacturers; and literally hundreds and hundreds of others who fled NYS for greener pastures. And the exodus continues today.
You should get out too.

I thought going green was supposed to creat jobs… The plant has operated for over 50 years but is closing largely influenced by polystyrene packaging bans in New York and neighboring states.

How about just changing the product line?
Retool
Lots of other uses for polystyrene
Close the plant?
People need jobs.
Fucking geniuses

Changing a product line depends on many factors including whether or not the new product is already overproduced by other companies.
Retooling, new advertisements, etc., cost money at a time when many companies are feeling the pinch of a crappy economy.
And since their first product using polystyrene is being banned, what's to say any new product won't be similarly banned in a very short time. Never underestimate the desire for communists to ban everything they either don't like or want to control.
so ultimately closing the plant becomes the most fiscal decision.
Yes, people need jobs. But, unlike our .gov, companies can't just make up money out of whole-cloth to keep paying people. It has to come from somewhere.
Isn't necessarily the company's fault. Blame the ignorant or maliciously stupid politicians first. Those are actually far worse than greedy CEOs.
Question what benefit this has?
I've moved to a State that doesn't have recycling requirements... Was weird first time shopping and they gave plastic bags, lol, and there's no "requirement" to separate garbage, etc.
So when surrounded by a world that doesn't participate in the folly, what are you doing? Trying to set and example ... For what? Doing what? Then add in the other 8 Billion People around the globe who aren't worried about using plastics, gasoline, natural gas, etc., etc... Is about as effective as standing on the edge of a windy cliff and trying to spit! Lol

Sounds like a page out of the Remington play book.
Getting harder and harder to be an optimist.
Wait 4 years. When Newsome runs and wins it'll be a federal thing. Everything will be banned
When you look at WHO in the Legislature is killing the State, and generally fucking things up with asinine "woke" Laws, you will invariably discover them to be NYC Representatives especially the "BLAC" caucus...the Governor is a Twat-waffle doing what she's been ordered to by her elite masters.

New York is sinking fast for them to walk away from that investment.

This takes me back to when you could make it all the way home with takeout food without the chicken wings leaking through the container. Ah, the good old days.

Just what New York needs, more businesses shutting down and leaving. I hope the last one to leave remembers to shut the lights off.
