STYROFOAM LIFE CYCLE
Styrofoam is commonly used in disposable products that are only used once. These products can persist in the environment for more than a million years, however, since polystyrene is not biodegradable.
Recycling PeanutsCall UPS for they normally will accept these.
Food Containers
These are very difficult to find businesses that recycle. The other options are:
1. Request from the restaurant/establishment to package your take out in a different way. We asked Smiling Banana Leaf and they didn't have a problem with it.
2. If they won't accommodate find another establishment.
3. Buy a recycling box from
TerraCycle and recycle it yourself or with friends.
