Oceana recently released a report – Plastic Foam Needs ‘To Go’

Plastic foam is one type of polystyrene that is incredibly harmful to the environment and human health. Most US registered voters agree and 78% support policies that reduce single-use plastic foam.

More than 8 million metric tons of plastic foam is produced globally each year and plastic foam fragments are among the 10 most littered items found across the US. Unfortunately only 1% or less of plastic foam is recycled each year. Additionally production of plastic foam emits incredible amounts of greenhouse gases.
