Styrofoam is a tradename by DOW Chemical that is not EPS. EPS is 100% recycleably where styrofoam is not. They are actually using blocks of EPS under highways in lieu of dirt because of its tremendous compressive strength. I am actually using EPS peanuts in a french drain and ran across this thread and had to weigh in. | |
