5 Dangers Of Using Styrofoam

5 Dangers Of Using Styrofoam

Non-Biodegradable Material

The biggest threat of using Styrofoam is that it is a non-biodegradable material.

It does not degrade and remains intact for a few hundred years either in landfills or the ocean.

Uses Non-Renewable Energy for Production

Styrofoam uses petroleum for its production.

The more Styrofoam is manufactured, the higher will be the stress on petroleum reserves.

Space Consuming

Styrofoam is a space-consuming material.

When disposed of, it takes a lot of space in the landfills.

Dangerous for Food Items

Since it is lightweight and easy to carry, most of us use it for packing and carrying our food.

However, it is not a food-grade safe material.

It may leach chemicals into your food items which can contaminate it.

A Threat to Marine Life

Styrofoam is a threat to marine life.

It is non-biodegradable and remains in the oceans for a long time.

Over time it starts to disintegrate into smaller particles and remain in the water.

It is often mistaken for food by fish and other marine creatures.
