Polystyrene takes decades to decompose even under direct sunlight

Plastics are an incredible presence, they are very low-cost to manufacture, very safe in many applications, and can support almost permanent use. In other words, they are the perfect solution to many problems when they are used, but once abandoned, they become a terrible nightmare for the environment.

Polystyrene recycling

Polystyrene is a very popular plastic that can withstand harsh environments without damage. Because polystyrene can easily pop up in the worst places, environmentalists urge legislators to ban or significantly limit the production of this material. Now, a new study reveals how durable it is – even in the best case of decomposition, a piece of polystyrene waste can exist for decades.
