If it's actually make out of polystyrene, I've read that is supposed to take 500 years like a lot of other plastics.

Many packing peanuts are biodegradable these days though, so it might not be actual styrofoam (polystyrene + air).

Those packing peanuts are made from corn and are basically edible.

Or if you wet them, they get sticky and you can stick them together to make stuff.

I think the new ones are made from potato starch
