The advantage of Styrofoam for food service is that it keeps hot foods hot and cold foods cold. However, some problems with polystyrene materials, are that it takes an extremely long time to decompose and tends to crumble and become a big source of water-borne trash, potentially harming different kinds of animals by choking and clogging animal digestive systems.
