Photos of Polystyrene Litter
Polystyrene comes in two forms:
- Rigid which is naturally clear but can be dyed. Used for lids, straws and utensils.
- Foam which is naturally white but can also be dyed. Used for cups, clamshells, and packaging material.

The foam looks like some sort of marine float. Also note the striped straw in the lower right corner. Taken near London.
