I love your site…as I appreciate your info so much…I’ve been through a lot with chemicals ~yikes!

I have a question, do you know of a “toxic-free” styrofoam sheet product/company that is available in the market? I need it for a major project. I need to buy in sheets, but everything I have found so far seems to have fire retardant and other chemicals added. Do you have a suggestion?

I am not aware of any, readers?

I try to avoid all styrofoam.  Using it in a project is probably not a significant exposure but it can leach styrene into food and drink.  Also, it is terrible for the environment due to it’s chemically-intensive production process and inability to bio-degrade.
