Polystyrene windows for envelopes envelopes are a major product line at AVP. But some companies have .shied away from using the plastic windowed envelopes in the belie! that they are more difficult to recycle recycle than envelopes utilizing glassine, a hazy material derived from paper.

Mr. Tennyson became a part- owner in the family-owned AVP Extrusions two years ago after the envelope manufacturer where he worked was sold.
