Styrofoam Cups

Bin: Trash

Styrafoam can come in many shapes and sizes from packaging to cups. It is easily brittle and can be crushed into tiny materials that do not decompose for a long time. Styrafoam usually is white and brick based but it can come in many colors.

USES

Styrafoam has many uses such as packaging. It helps to keep objects safe and helps them to not break easily. Styrafoam is very useful for keeping things intact and warm too which is why styrafoam cups are bought a lot. Although Styrafoam is useful it isn't decomposable which harms the environment.
