    Reusing expanded polystyrene

    A neighbour with a sack of polystyrene block pieces was bemoaning the local council's lack of facilities for recycling this tiresome form of plastic packaging, so I wondered if there were any options. Recycling seems to be very rare - even though the material can be reused to make other things.

    There are more ways of reusing it at home than I'd realised, though; see https://www.greenredeem.co.uk/greener-living/lifestyle/10-ways-to-reuse-polystyrene. I particularly like the idea of using it instead of perlite, since heavy London clay often needs lightening.
