The seafood industry generally uses polystyrene boxes to pack fish due to its excellent properties of maintaining the cold chain during transport. Poly boxes are vital to maintain cold temperature for food safety,  preventing food waste.

Although used seafood boxes are contaminated, they can still be recycled and enter the circular economy. Fish merchants are paying more and more attention to poly box recycling as a proper disposal method of the polystyrene box after seafood transportation. Benefits include reducing disposal fees and saving storage space.
