Cruz Foam has created a fully earth-digestible replacement for styrofoam and polyurethane foam with competitive production economics.

The use of non-renewable and single use foams is a problem for every person on this planet: plastic pollution in the ocean is a persistent contaminant that harms both humans and animals. Among single use plastics, polystyrene foam takes over 500 years to degrade, but most often is closer to 1,000 years; currently US landfills contain over 30% plastics with the majority attributed to polystyrene and polyurethane. Further, government legislation is now being passed that will require businesses to rapidly transition to natural, alternative materials.
