'RecyCoolers' could help reduce use of environmentally harmful Styrofoam packaging

California packaging company unveils RecyCoolers made of recyclable paper and fiber.
At least 33 states have adopted "extended producer responsibility" laws aimed at hard-to-recycle plastic and foam.
More than 80 million tons of packaging trash is discarded in the United States a year, with only half of it recycled.
Dozens of countries, including Canada , Germany and Zimbabwe , have banned or restricted the use of Styrofoam .
RecyCoolers were designed to work in concert with those emerging laws, says CCS co-owner.
“The versatility of the product plays a key role in supporting our commitment to environmental responsibility,” she says.
