We Have a Better Solution!
Foam packaging is one of the top contributors of environmental litter. Just walk along any creek, lake, highway or pond and you’ll most likely and unfortunately notice foam or plastic containers (and lids) polluting the shorelines, raodways and waterways. Sadly, this litter will be there forever.
Bad for planet Earth, polystyrene and polyethylene containers are causing negative impacts to wildlife and waterways, ruining scenic views and upsetting both land owners and nature lovers.
In 2020, New York State adopted the nation's strongest statewide ban of expanded polystyrene, single-use foam food and beverage containers, and polystyrene loose fill packaging materials, commonly known as packing peanuts.
