Foam Explained
What is Styrofoam?
Styrofoam is Expanded Polystyrene or EPS. Styrofoam is a trademarked name of the Dow Chemical Corporation. Calling EPS Styrofoam is like calling a tissue a Kleenex or an adhesive bandage a Band-Aid. EPS is simply plastic. It is a very useful plastic in that it is very light and can be easily melted into any shape to protects things like our TVs and lamps!
Why should I recycle Styrofoam?
Styrofoam should be recycled because it does not degrade in our landfills.
What is Feed Me Foam?
Feed Me Foam is a mobile EPS, aka Styrofoam processer. Basically, I drive a 16-foot-long box truck with the densifier mounted inside of it to YOU and densify the EPS you would otherwise throw in the trash, on site!
Why choose Feed Me Foam?
To keep EPS/Styrofoam OUT of our landfills where it will stay there for 500 or more years! That's not a typo! Styrofoam which is a type of plastic does NOT degrade or simply go away!
Who should use Feed Me Foam?
