Polystyrene recycling is essential in the modern world. With so many products using this material, landfills have seen a steep increase in the use of polystyrene over the past two decades. When you reuse and recycle waste materials, you can save energy and raw materials used in production. So, what exactly is the problem with polystyrene left in places such as landfills?
Toxicity: When disposed of improperly, polystyrene can leak toxic chemicals into the environment. Water and heat can be enough to cause such an effect, adding to the pollution already found in landfills. This can kill plants and animals and could even affect the water sources you use.
Lifespan: polystyrene can last more than 500 years in a landfill.
