Hello, everybody. Have some news.
Maybe soon we can say goodbye to polystyrene, the petroleum-based material that is used to make Styrofoam. In what looks like an ordinary bicycle helmet, Swedish designers have replaced Styrofoam with a new shock-absorbing material made with renewable and biodegradable wood-based material.

Stratus, buddy, did you read the article? It's about creating an alternative to Styrofoam as a shock-absorbing material, not a packaging material. Besides, fast food places quit using Styrofoam (for most things) a couple decades ago.
This is a good development.
