An interesting tidbit of green clarification from The Dow Chemical Company:Dow has been making STYROFOAM brand foam for 60 years, and we’d like to set the record straight. STYROFOAM is a registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company for its line of extruded foam products made from 100 percent pure polystyrene foam. STYROFOAM brand foam is not used in the manufacture of disposable foam products, such as cups, coolers, meat trays and packing peanuts. Blue* STYROFOAM brand insulation creates more energy-efficient homes around the world, and in North America alone, over two million homes are insulated with STYROFOAM insulation, resulting in $200 million per year in energy savings, as well as significant reduction in fossil-fuel consumption and carbon-dioxide emissions. STYROFOAM brand foam can be reused and recycled, and all production generated scrap is recycled at the point of manufacture.
