Polystyrene is a non-biodegradable material that contributes to pollution and poses a threat to wildlife and the environment. When polystyrene products are discarded, they can break down into microplastics, which can be ingested by marine animals and accumulate in the food chain. By taking action, we can reduce non-recyclable waste, protect wildlife, and promote more sustainable practices.
