I'm honestly surprised by the amount of polystyrene waste. What country is your diner in if I may ask? In most parts of Europe PS has virtually disappeared for the end consumer and - afaik - is also mostly replaced by other materials where possible in the commercial sector. But I might be wrong. Again, really surprised to see so much of it in your graph.

We are in the US. Our carryout containers are made out of polystyrene. There are alternatives but they are just made out of PP and there are some fibrous alternatives but they tend to be 3x the price while being an inferior quality. If it were up to me I'd switch but running the place with my elder brother so there is more that one person involved when making decisions :(
