LA Weekly

Fifteen years behind Berkeley, the City of Malibu banned the use of polystyrene food containers this week.

Food retailers looking for alternatives might try take-out containers made of compostable bagasse, a sugar-cane fiber, corn-based PLA
or starch-based PPM100, which handles hot foods, too. The last one sounds all serious and toxic, but in fact it's fully compostable.

And don't worry, this won't put Dow out of business. Polystyrene has many other uses.
