PS damages the ozone – isn PS made with CFCs?
No chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are currently used in the domestic manufacture of PS packaging products and haven’t been since 1990. Most (about 70 percent) PS foam products never were made with CFCs. Those few that did use CFCs comprised a very small portion of US CFC use. In fact, the EPA says that only two to three percent of CFCs used in the US went toward production of PS packaging products. By 1990, those few PS manufacturers that did use them voluntary phased out the use of CFCs.
