Less than 2% of polystyrene products are
recycled even though they are among the
most easily recycled plastics.

Regular polystyrene used to ship products
typically weighs about 0.5 lbs per cubic foot.
After Styro-Go processes it we increase the
density to over 60 lbs per cubic foot.

Studies from California and University of Victoria
have shown that polystyrene is the LEAST carbon
intensive shipping product to produce when including
both upstream and downstream carbon cost and GHG
footprint!

Polystyrene is still the safest packaging for food, medical and
other products with the highest antimicrobial rating compared
to other packaging.

Polystyrene is widely available around the world
and is cheap to produce making it both the
most economical and safest packaging material
available.

Polystyrene is one of only a few plastics that can be recycled
in BOTH an open AND closed loop. It can be recycled into
brand new virgin polystyrene as well as reclaimed (regrind)
polystyrene or into other products entirely.
