HOw many uses are there for styrofoam besides the land fill? Mine would be to grind it, and use it for blow in insulation.

It is already being used for flotation devices, but is it being recycled for that purpose?

John C: you have a strange sense of humor, but so do I.
I just hope that you don%26#039;t put that knowledge to use.

Aside from boats, use packing peanuts or pieces of EPS for light-weight drainage in the bottom of hanging planters.
  • Styrofoam is a trademark for the blue insulation that is put on the outside of houses and other buildings. In addition to being used as insulation, it is used by the movie studios to build sets.
  • Small water craft use it for bouyancy, fishing bobbers, packing for moving, insulation in many forms, (cups, temp control attic insulation, coolers), used under casting for broken bones prior to cast being used.
  • Hi, it%26#039;s really good to fill the bottam of large pots and planters before putting potting mix in, makes them light to move around and also you don%26#039;t use as much potting mix....this is done by nurseries also.
  • I mixed it with gasoline to patch a hole in my boat once. Additives that are now in, or were in gasoline when I did this now make air bubbles in the mixture so it isn%26#039;t as good any more.
  • You can mix it with gasoline to make napalm.
  • Animals choke and die from it.
