Where does it go?
The Styrofoam goes to Reynolds Urethane Recycling, Inc. for specialized processing.
Styrofoam takes over 500 years to decompose in landfills.
25%-35% of all landfill waste is from styrofoam products. Over 5 billion pounds of styrofoam ends up in our landfills and waterways each year. https://healtheplanet.com/100-ways-to-heal-the-planet/styrofoam
