| Styrophobia is an organization working to reduce environmental degradation and economic injustice through education, community networks & sustainable products and enterprises. Why Styrophobia? To communicate and educate the public of the personal and environmental health concerns of expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) and other plastics. Did you know EPS is made from crude oil and can leach toxic chemicals into the food it contains? Where does it go after the trash can or landfill? It takes hundreds of years for one container made of EPS to break down. Learn what happens in the mean time. Eco Store & Fair Trade... Sustainable products, including biodegradables for everyday consumption choices. Non-petroleum based products which reduce the impact of our consumption on the environment. Raising awareness of compostable disposables made from readily renewable resources like sugarcane, corn & potato. Bringing to market a fair priced range of compostable & biodegradable food service and packaging products for use in companies, schools, cafeterias, and restaurants Our Community... To expand our understanding of the environmental and fair trade issues in our global community.
