New Washington policies ban Styrofoam, packaging with PFAS chemicals

The bans begin in May and June and are aimed at holding product producers accountable for environmental protection rather than consumers.

those giant EPS foam slabs for road construction are exempt of course . 1 block is like a few million dinner trays coolers combined .

As a new resident of Washington I was shocked to see styrofoam was still used for takeout containers.

Happy earth day!

They failed to mention the majority of Styrofoam found along the beaches is from the big blocks of Styrofoam keeping those behind her docks afloat. You can tell 2:40 there's about five chunks of it, it has a course texture made up of large round "pea" sized balls all formed together. Usually, a storm will break off bits and chunks of the older blocks and the beach will be littered with them.

Are they going to tell the auto manufacturers that they are going to find something else for the bumpers of all of the new cars? Hum.

Wow, I'm going to stock up on my Styrofoam containers while I can. I love the way they float down river

But think of the poor single use styrofoam business owners!

Every single person in this video is lying.

It’s the consumers responsibility to dispose of this litter not the business people c’mon taking one step forward and 10 steps reverse
