Styrofoam takes up about 30% of landfills.
Many companies have developed packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable ISO (International Organization for Standardization) definition.
They are made from all-natural plant material, such as sorghum or, more commonly, corn starch. With direct contact with water, the peanuts degrade into inert proteins that are consumed by bacteria.
Biodegradable resin is transported in pellet form, from which peanuts are produced on demand using a machine. This saves energy and warehouse space.
