No, but it is potentially recyclable (but I am unaware of any recycling facilities that will accept it at this time).
Polystyrene is today difficult to be recycled.
Polystyrene is formed from only one monomer - styrene.
They are made from the same polymer, polystyrene. Usually polystyrene is clear, hard and rigid, for example in CD cases. However, styrofoam is created by blowing air through liquid polystyrene. The bubbles are locked in the polystyrene as it solidifies, giving the syrofoam used in packaging and cups. The reason it is compressible is because the air is compressed, rather than the hard, rigid polystyrene itself.
Polystyrene can be used in various industries like Polystyrene Packaging, Construction, Display, Exhibition, Signs, and all areas of the foam industry. Various different items can be produced from polystyrene. For a complete range and details about products please visit: http://www.polystyrene.uk.com/

Polystyrene is made from petroleum which is non sustainable and non renewable. It is made from styrene monomer. It is used as a strong plastic that can be extruded, ejected, or blow molded.
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
The atactic polystyrene is more crystalline than the syndiotactic polystyrene.
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.
Polystyrene is a kind of hard plastic.
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
Polystyrene is not very dense.
Polystyrene is today difficult to be recycled.
Polystyrene was discovered in Germany. Eduard Simon discovered it in 1839. He was from Berlin. Polystyrene is also called thermocole.
