Who has the best way to recycle/reuse polystyrene? 10 points for the winner!!!?

Question

I have recently noticed that everytime i see a dustbin in my office park it is filled with polystyrene and i simply cant believe that there isn't a good way to recycles it or at the very least reuse it.

It floats, it's light, It's readily available and free!!! What more could one ask for?

So, apart from the obvious uses (packaging, kids play thing and insulation etc), who has a fresh new idea for this uniquely different material?

Let's think big and come up with an idea that will change the polystyrene disposal world forever.

I refuse to believe that there isn't an easy solution....

So grab your pencil and make a difference.

As they say all big ideas come from little pencils!!!
