    Outgoing New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is gunning for a ban on EPS food containers before he leaves office January 1.

    Bloomberg's ban, first proposed in February 2013, would bar New York City restaurants from using expanded polystyrene （EPS） packaging for takeaway dishes.

    While the material is popular with eateries for its low price tag and thermal properties, eco advocates claim the stuff is a bear to recycle. Most municipalities do not offer curbside recycling of the material.
