Why we hate Polystyrene Trays!

We make no bones about it here at Conwy Feast, we HATE Polystyrene food trays!, their production isn’t in any way environmentally friendly, they don’t EVER bio-degrade, eventually they just break up into smaller pieces and their lightweight composition means that they find their way in our waterways and seas killing marine life, causing pollution and littering our streets.
We all feel quite strongly about this at Feast HQ and issued a ban on Polystyrene food trays from last years’ event on, any businesses' breaking this ban don’t get invited back. We are also working with local takeaways to try and persuade them of the evils of polystyrene, there are plenty of easily available alternatives.
Surely an extra few pence is a small price to pay for not having a disposable chip tray floating around our streets, countryside and waterways eternally?!.
