Normal polystyrene (or Styrofoam as it is also called) is not biodegradable. There are various experiments going on round the world trying to make some plastics biodegradable, for example, plastic bags.
There is an alternative to polystyrene available for packaging. They consist of small foam pellets made from corn starch or other foods which dissolve quickly in water. So they are no problem in landfill (rubbish dumps). In fact, you can eat them, though don't make a meal of it!
