the boffs are working on the problem and here are their solutions
Recycling

For the other stuff there is a process for recycling polystyrene that uses the styromelt system.

Polystyrene that ends up as litter has to be picked up – by the council – you pay the cost or by decent folk who care about the environmnet.
