Styrofoam, or expanded polystyrene (EPS), is highly resistant to degradation and can take hundreds to thousands of years to dissolve in the environment. Factors such as exposure to sunlight, temperature, and moisture can influence its breakdown, but it remains a significant environmental concern due to its persistence. Recycling options exist, but they are limited and not widely implemented.
