Composting Polystyrene with Mealworms:
Based on Stanford University researcher's discovery in 2015, we have created our own polystyrene (broadly known as Styrofoam *TM) composting system. We are working on scaling up our system in our headquarters' community and especially disseminating the project potential with science teachers and local schools.
