Waste sorting by styrofoam
Many are in doubt about how to sort styrofoam. Even if we don't have a waste bin for styrofoam at home, it does matter where the waste is thrown out. Styrofoam must go in the household waste, but the best possible way is to hand over styrofoam waste at the recycling station or in a clear sack for bulky waste.
Styrofoam consists of air and plastic, which can be reused if it is properly sorted. The styrofoam is melted down and used to make a new styrofoam or plastic, thereby saving both oil and energy, which ultimately benefits the environment.
We often see styrofoam in packaging that contains electronics or other fragile items that break easily. Therefore, remember to remove the styrofoam before throwing the cardboard box out with the cardboard and paper waste.
