By Don Loepp on October 31 2012 1 16 PM ET I see a lot of stories every week that contain half truths and misconceptions about plastics but I let most of them pass without comment But something about a story today from the Brookline Mass WickedLocal com is just crying for comment If you just read the headline Expanded polystyrene ban in Brookline gets no from Selectmen you might think this is a story about a community where the plastics industry was victorious in the wave of product bans that seems to be sweeping across parts of the United States But take a closer look First you ve got a resident proposing a ban on polystyrene because it is bad for the environment because it is not biodegradable and the federal government classified styrene a chemical found in Styrofoam as a possible carcinogen in 2011 So only products that are degradable are good for the environment And can we get some data on human exposure to styrene from Styrofoam cups The resident apparently initially thought that all PS products were foam but then she discovered that polystyrene can be found in a number of other items and in a more rigid form Some examples include certain lids to food containers or the lids to coffee cups So her reaction Let s ban those too The Brookline Board of Selectmen decided against that proposal but not because they were well informed about the benefits of PS food service products and packaging One said When I drink a cup of coffee out of a standard foam polystyrene cup I taste the Styrofoam he said I suspect that when you have a heated beverage that there is something unhealthful about it I liked our first version where we were banning the extended foam version of polystyrene So Brookline is banning PS foam but not solid PS products like lids and straws Retailers and restaurants will have to adjust but that s no problem according to the Selectmen there are plenty of biodegradable alternatives to PS And those are automatically better products right No need to put any real research into this issue at least not in Brookline
