Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
Styrofoam, -which is closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam .
Styrofoam is indeed lightweight compared to other substances from which cups are made such as clay, metal or glass.
no
No, styrofoam cups do not contain asbestos. Styrofoam is a type of plastic material while asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its heat resistance and insulating properties, but it is not used in the production of styrofoam products.
Styrofoam cups are made of expanded polystyrene beads. The unexpanded beads (about the size of sand grains) are put in a mold then exposed to steam which expands them to grain of rice size and sticks the beads together into the finished product.
A styrofoam cup will be here 300 years from now and Americans only use 25 billion Styrofoam cups each year.
styrofoam cups are great insulators.
Styrofoam cups are generally worse for the environment than plastic cups because Styrofoam is non-biodegradable and takes hundreds of years to break down. Plastic cups, while also harmful, can be recycled or reused to a certain extent, making them slightly more environmentally friendly than Styrofoam.
styrofoam cups keep you beverages hot or cold because they are awesome
Hot liquids in styrofoam cups can potentially release harmful chemicals, such as styrene, especially when the liquid is very hot. It is recommended to avoid using styrofoam cups for hot liquids, especially if they are boiling, to minimize potential health risks. Instead, opt for containers made from safer materials like paper or glass.
Styrofoam cups last in the landfill for hundreds of years. Paper cups break down much faster. Paper would only last for a month.
