Trash to Treasure Part 2

Styrofoam is a waste product without a recycling option in most places. During three semesters, a team of six students and one faculty advisor are continuing research on the production of building blocks from waste styrofoam, including structural, thermal and environmental tests in lab settings, construction of full scale walls, and improvements on the production process.
