Yes, it's not that hard at all.

If it's plastered, it is...

Styrofoam is already not hazardous waste today and will not be in 30, 40, 50 years either. Styrofoam can be recycled and, if necessary, completely burned. Algae growth can just as easily occur on a house with solid masonry if it is insulated just as well.

Statement of the Federal Environment Agency:

Federal Environment Agency (Press Office): “Thermal insulation materials based on Styrofoam (expanded polystyrene, EPS insulation) contain the flame retardant hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD). Since HBCD is environmentally toxic, persistent, and highly bioaccumulative, the substance is classified under the European Chemicals Regulation (REACH) as a substance of very high concern and may only be used from 2015 with a special authorization. Therefore, from 2015 at the latest, more environmentally friendly EPS insulation materials with more ecologically compatible flame retardants are to be expected on the market.

Overall, the share of Styrofoam in the insulation market in building construction is about 35 percent. However, EPS insulation materials have a particularly high market share of over 80 percent in thermal insulation composite systems.

It is already possible to avoid the widespread use of HBCD-containing EPS insulation materials and thus significantly relieve the environment: The Blue Angel eco-label offers a simple way to find alternatives for thermal insulation materials and thermal insulation composite systems with hazardous substances and to avoid problematic waste..
