example of how world needs to rethink and change i know our product is not Styrofoam but its clear the world needs change cfoam at 8 mil cap is change .........................................full stop .they have right people taking notice in usa plus the drones link its a obvious buy .
this not going to a asx shell price of 4mil cap with current news . September this will be rerated .asx mining pennies are 100 mil everyday of the week this is a gift .






The Green Dining Alliance and St. Louis Earth Day recently worked with students of St. Louis University’s MBA program on an Experimental Learning Project to determine the “Real Cost of Styrofoam.”

The GDA has long-suspected that the true cost of polystyrene (better known as Styrofoam) has a societal cost that is not reflected in its ultra-cheap sticker price.

Styrofoam is ridiculously cheap, much less expensive than alternative to-go cups and containers. Its commercial cost is due to its lightweight composition – Styrofoam is mostly made out tiny pellets of #6 plastic* and air, which makes it very light and easy to ship. The lightweight material also works great as an insulator, which is one of the reasons it has been adopted as a vessel for coffee and other hot liquids.

The findings of the research team are sobering. Styrofoam isn’t as cheap as it seems. In fact, the real cost of the convenience for these single-use items is staggering; when considering the cleanup costs, carbon emissions, environmental costs, and potential health effects, the hidden cost of Styrofoam comes out to $7 billion, annually.

Below are some of the results of their study:

25 billion Styrofoam coffee cups are used for just a few minutes and thrown away every year.

3 million tons of Styrofoam are produced in the USA annually, 80% of which is destined for the trash. The ubiquitous single-use plastic takes up 30% of landfill space- about 2.5 million tons or so of Styrofoam goes to the landfill every single year.

It takes over 500 years for Styrofoam to break down, which means that a cup you throw away today will still be around in the year 2516.

The environmental costs of Styrofoam are directly related to the same exact properties that make it so cheap to buy – it is nearly as light as air, which makes it very easy for the tiny pellets that compose its form to take to flight, ending up in our waterways, roads, and littering our streets.

20% of Styrofoam ends up in our waterways, where birds and fish mistake it for food. The pellets are awful for animals – Styrofoam pellets cannot be digested, clogging digestive systems, leading to starvation and death.

Streams and rivers eventually carry the plastic pieces to the ocean, where they wash up on coasts. The state of California estimates that the coastal cleanup of Styrofoam, plastic bags, and other single-use plastics costs them $72 million per year.
