is using disposable food packaging materials haram?

like styrofoam packs and cups,the chemicals used to produce the foam destroys the ozone layer and the material used in making this is of benzene, a know carcinogenic material. Using this is killing both us and the environment.Any fatwa against using this?

They are haram so you should avoid them as much as possible. In the world we currently live in, it is next to impossible to avoid them entirely (unless you live completely self-sufficient and isolated from the rest of society, like the Amish in America or something), so you have to do the best that you can and don’t bother beating yourself up when you cannot avoid them, the world as we know it will soon come to an end anyway and these materials will be banned in the future. So will PVC plastic which has millions of uses (probably the keyboard I am typing on right now has it) and using gasoline and so forth as they all destroy and alter human body in ways most of us do not want to be altered (unless you were hoping for your children to be hermaphrodites).

    I’m sure it has harmful chemicals but so does makeup .. hair products shampoo and junk food right?
    so I’m pretty sure they aren’t haram

    EDIT: found no fatwa saying they are haram .. only about pork material .. smoke and so on
