Agilyx has never shut down operations. As well as perfecting their new Gen7 system for successful deployment they maintained operations by retooling their day to day operations to process styrofoam. They not only have contracts with large corporations that ship the styrofoam to them at their cost.....they also have a system in place where the local population, municipalities, and others can drop off to be processed. All free feedstock with no transportation costs involved.
The one thing they didn't do was shut down operations for 4 years , make zero technical advances, and let their machines sit idle and rust like some companies have been known to do.
