Polystyrene foam is one of the many types of plastic pollution found in our environment. In Toronto, reports of foam littering streets, beaches and slips are commonplace. The question is, where does it all come from? Common sources are takeout containers and packaging, another is construction.
On Tuesday December 3, 2024 from 12:00-1:00pm EST, the University of Toronto Trash Team, a collaborator of the Toronto Inner Harbour Floatables Strategy, will be discussing the problem of foam insulation and other materials leaking from construction sites into our local ecosystems and share findings from In Pursuit of Polystyrene, including a pilot working with local industries to reduce pollution at the source.
