Number 6 Plastic Polystyrene
This common plastic is Expanded Polystyrene Foam, or EPS. Styrofoam, the trademarked product name from the Dow Chemical Company, is the most common type of plastic #6. Because it is most often used in packaging to help insulate and keep delicate things from becoming damaged during transport, everybody deals with Styrofoam at some point. Though Styrofoam is hard to recycle, other #6 products can be simple to recycle. These products include plastic cups, CD and DVD cases and casing.
