styrofoams
White foam material
Styrofoam is a brand name for a type of expanded polystyrene foam, though the term is commonly used generically for any similar lightweight foam plastic.
The material is recognizable by its white color, squeaky texture, and ability to break into small beads.
It appears most often in disposable coffee cups, takeout containers, and packing materials.
Environmental concerns have made styrofoam increasingly controversial, as it does not biodegrade and is difficult to recycle.
