AI overview
Polystyrene is a lightweight plastic material commonly used to make everyday products like yogurt containers, takeout cups, and protective packaging. It matters because it's inexpensive and easy to mold into detailed shapes, making it useful for food storage and shipping, though its environmental impact is a significant concern.

Polystyrol (Kurzzeichen PS) ist ein transparenter, geschäumt weißer, amorpher oder teilkristalliner Thermoplast. Amorphes Polystyrol ist ein weit verbreiteter, kostengünstiger (Standard-) Kunststoff, der in vielen Bereichen des täglichen Lebens zum Einsatz kommt. Expandiertes Polystyrol (EPS, vor allem bekannt unter dem Handelsnamen Styropor) und extrudiertes Polystyrol (XPS) werden als Schaumstoffe eingesetzt.
