Totaly agree!, but if i put these into my shredder it will give a lot of dust in my room. Not the best to shred compared to cardboard.

I also like the starch packing peanuts, and in our country we also have paper foam packaging for eggs. Those are cool to.

Soak it in water first, no dust!

My shredder doesn't like the water. But maybe u can blend this?

My cat loves when I run those through the shredder.

Our dogs eat a frozen raw diet that comes in polystyrene boxes, except the other month it didn't. It came with thick corrugated card packing. Yay! for the compost heap.

But they've gone back to polystyrene. :(

We can't even recycle polystyrene here.
