It takes more than 18 GENERATIONS for foam board to break down in the environment.
12 % of the world’s PLASTIC WASTE is incinerated, and only 9% is recycled – in most cases just once.
Plastic is harmful to our health and can have CARCINOGENIC effects over the long term. It may also cause mutations in human genes and cause infertility.
Manufacturing 2 TONS OF PVC requires as much energy as a typical two-person household consumes over the course of an entire year.
By 2050, experts predict there will be 3x more PLASTIC in the world’s oceans than fish.
