With minimising waste and recycling at the top of everyone’s agenda these days, there’s been some tricky things that we’ve been guilt-stricken throwing in the bin.
One of those things is polystyrene foam – the dreaded material that ends up hanging around your garage because you have environmental hang ups about just tossing it out.
For so long this has been one of those incredibly tricky items which no options for recycling. But not now!
