While it is used in everyday lives, factories
that produce styrofoam are considered the
largest producers of toxic waste since 1986.
Furthermore, styrofoam can harm animals
that scavenge food from landfills. Styrofoam
products also have the tendency of easily
breaking apart into small pieces, making it a
choke hazard to animals.
The team came up with an innovative
solution to keeping styrofoam out of land-
fills by transforming would-be-wasted sty-
rofoam trays (thousands are used per week)
into useful insulation for homes. Styrofoam
has good insulation properties because it
is made from 95% air, so insulation blocks
were created.
Here's the process: Styrofoam lunch trays
were shredded, put in plastic bags, vacu-
umed shut and sealed, to make styrofoam
bricks. Heat was then applied with hair
dryers to shrink the bags, preventing mold.
Since about 30% of heat is lost through the
attic, the bags were placed in 14-x-24-inch
wooden frames, specifically designed to fit
between the attic studs. These styrofoam
bricks can be made fast, with automation,
and would provide excellent insulation
which would cut down heating/cooling
costs in your home.
When Beachwood Buzz went to press, The
Tuxedo Seven had competed in regionals.

About helping others:
"At the end of life we will not be
judged by how many diplomas we
have received, how much money we
have made, how many great things we
have done.
We will be judged by "I was hungry,
and you gave me something to eat, I
was naked and you clothed me. I was
homeless, and you took me in."
Mother Teresa
