According to the Ocean Conservancy, plastic foam is among the top five objects that frequently contaminate Washington's beaches and rivers. "When you crunch or break apart a cup or takeaway container, you can see that it's composed of these tiny little beads of this foam. It's also really fragile. As a result, it breaks very readily and releases thousands upon thousands of those microplastics into the environment if it is struck by a rock, a wave, or an animal.
