There's No Such Thing as a STYROFOAM Cup
The STYROFOAM™ Brand name is sometimes misused as a generic term for disposable foam products such as coffee cups, coolers and packaging materials. These materials, however, are made from expanded polystyrene and do not have the insulation value, compressive strength or moisture-resistant properties of STYROFOAM™ Brand extruded polystyrene insulation.
There isn't a coffee cup, cooler or packaging material in the world made from actual STYROFOAM™ Brand Extruded Polystyrene Insulation. STYROFOAM™ is a registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company that represents its building material products, including rigid foam and structural insulated sheathing, and more.
Dow holds more than 250 trademark registrations worldwide for the STYROFOAM™ brand. Learn more about trademarks and service marks of Dow, along with guidelines for correct usage.
