Recycling Styrofoam Packaging

by David Allen on Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Has anyone ever thought about those peanut shaped Styrofoam blocks that fill up huge boxes only the protect something is just a quarter of the box size. Well many do, because this packaging material is not cheap to make, but only gets used once, what a waste!

 

 

However, it would seem that recycling these little Styrofoam peanuts is easier than it would first sound, because of its purpose, it is classed as an industrial packaging and therefore cannot be transported around by an average person in huge quantities and recycling plants will not take small quantities either. Even the actual recycling process is not easy, as it has to be cleaned and gathered in large quantities, surely, there must be an easier way of doing this.

    I am totally stressed out about how to dispose/recycle the styrofoam packaging that our stereo and other things came in. I live in the SF bay area and would think that there should be plenty of places to recycle them but can't figure them out... Please let me know if anyone knows the magic place :)
  • I live in SF, I think that's a nationalwide problem, even recycling itself isn't efficient compared to rest of the world still...
