* Styrofoam is a trademark name for extruded polystyrene thermal insulation material, manufactured by Dow Chemical Company. It is usually blue in color (according to the Dow website). Styrofoam can be recycled and easily identified if it is properly labeled with the resin identification code symbol for polystyrene. It may otherwise take between 1 and 100 years to decompose.

Styrofoam is the kind of spongy white foam material those white drinking cups are made from; it keeps hot and cold well but it is not biodegradable.

It's the type of expanded polystyrene that cups are made from (that come out of a drinks machine).
