No, but it is potentially recyclable (but I am unaware of any recycling facilities that will accept it at this time).
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
Polystyrene is formed from only one monomer - styrene.
thermocol is the common name for air bubbled polystyrene.
Yes, polystyrene can be frozen. Freezing polystyrene can help preserve food or keep it fresh for longer periods. However, extreme temperature changes can cause polystyrene to become brittle and potentially crack.

Foam is not considered renewable because it is typically made from synthetic materials like polyurethane or polystyrene, which are derived from non-renewable petroleum resources. However, there are some bio-based foams made from renewable resources like soy or corn, which are more environmentally friendly.
Polystyrene is made from petroleum which is non sustainable and non renewable. It is made from styrene monomer. It is used as a strong plastic that can be extruded, ejected, or blow molded.
Polystyrene is NOT biodegradable
Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic Rigid polystyrene is a hard plastic
Because polystyrene is the polymer of the monomer styrene; poli in the Greek language has the meaning of many.
Polystyrene is a kind of hard plastic.
The other name for polystyrene is Styrofoam.
Polystyrene is obtained by the polymerization of the monomer styrene.
Polystyrene was discovered in Germany. Eduard Simon discovered it in 1839. He was from Berlin. Polystyrene is also called thermocole.
Methanol is used to force polystyrene OUT of solution. So the simple answer is: you can't. But, there is probably an extreme temperature or pressure that allows polystyrene to remain in solution with methanol present.
Styrofoam... it's like polystyrene
