I would say that it was probably a local government initiative in Berlin that developed the project/concept. You might find information on this site http://www.mauerfall09.de/en I think the artists were from all over Germany, from school kids to celebrities. Hi Deirdre,

I would love to find out who initiated and developed the project, and and the artist that was involved? Brilliant project!

I think the fact that the German authorities are using it on such a high profile event shows that Styrofoam, if used and recycled in an appropriate manner, can be a useful and versatile material. Efficient and effective recycling is the key to prevent it ending up in landfill. Thanks for your comment Leslie.

I only wish styrofoam were banned from production and taken out of circulation - it's horrible for the environment.

It is hard to believe it's 20 years from seeing those images on the TV of the wall falling and the joy on the faces of the people their. Germany is very pro-active on recycling & energy conservation so I presume that the blocks will be processed in some way. I think that is why they are being wrapped in muslin, this can be removed and the unpainted blocks could ground down to be reused again. This is what happen with our off cuts, they go back to the supplier and they are used to make new blocks. Thanks Jennifer for your comments.

I've been to Berlin twice and it's a great city. I can't believe it's 20 years since the wall came down. I wonder what do they do with the polystyrene when they're finished? Hi Fran

I've never been to Berlin myself, so it could be a good event to attend. My wife might not think so if she sees more Polystyrene :-) Thanks Niamh for your comments.
