The problem with "re-using" packaging styrofoam for insulation is that it will leave gaps, never fully sealing a surface (unless melted together somehow). Simply 2% of a wall being holes can reduce the insulative properties of EPS by as much as 80%. 2% really isn't much considering how many individual pieces of packaging will have to be strewn together. @Nate much like Kleenex, Styrofoam really is almost ambiguous.
