Styrofoam cups are considered unhealthy because they are not biodegradable, leading to environmental pollution. When exposed to heat, styrofoam can release toxic chemicals that may leach into beverages and adversely affect health if consumed. Additionally, the production of styrofoam contributes to the depletion of nonrenewable resources and its disposal adds to landfill waste.

Which is worse for the environment - styrofoam cups or plastic cups?

Plastic cups, while also harmful, can be recycled or reused to a certain extent, making them slightly more environmentally friendly than Styrofoam.


Should Styrofoam be banned?

Some people say yes, some people say no. Styrofoam is a material that never decomposes, so if you bury it today and someone digs there in a thousand years it would be there. Because of this, it is non recyclable. People that use Styrofoam (in various ways) Jamba Juice (cups) post offices (packing peanuts) electronics companies (those little box thingies that breakable things are put in) All of those places would say no. Everyone you ask would have a different answer.
