OUT of the 3 million tons of Styrofoam produced in the US each year 2.3 millions tons of it ends UP in OUR landfills and waterways. Styrofoam that ends UP in OUR oceans Breaks down into beads and forms a plastic soup which is then consumed by WILDLIFE. STYROFOAM does NOT biodegrade. It PHOTODEGRADES. . . . IF Styrofoam is buried in a landfill it cannot PHOTODEGRADE and most will still BE in landfills 500 years from NOW. Styrofoam in landfills Also creates greenhouse gases. With the technology that 3G1V possesses. We are able to reduce OUR footprint on the environment.
