There are currently no applications for degradable PS resins. Degradable plastics are primarily used where applications require this feature — such as sutures, or agricultural mulch film designed to break down once buried under the soil. The FDA has not been asked to, and therefore has not yet approved, the use of degradable plastics for food service products.
