Portland is joining a growing group of cities in banning polystyrene foam containers. Starting today, packaging food and beverage in products made of polystyrene foam will not allowed to be possessed, sold, or offered in restaurants, grocery stores and nonprofit food servers in Portland. If violate the rules, you will be fined up to $250.
Polystyrene is often called Styrofoam, which has been commonly used for takeout foam containers, bowls, cups, and food trays in the food industry.
Items made of this material are extremely difficult to recycle and often end up as litter in our open spaces, rivers and oceans. They break down into small toxic pieces that wildlife and aquatic animals consume because they can’t distinguish the small pieces from food.
