Polystyrene is a synthetic polymer derived from the monomer styrene, which is primarily obtained from petroleum or natural gas. The production process involves the polymerization of styrene molecules, resulting in polystyrene, which can be produced in various forms, including solid and foam. It is widely used in packaging, insulation, and disposable products due to its lightweight and insulating properties.
