I can suggest to use it as insulation. It is commonly used like that in many countries. Shred it into pieces as small as possible - say pea, rice size. Mix with concrete /cement, water, little sand/ it is great. I know about company producing plasto concrete - same thing instead of styro they put in shredded plastic. Concrete is then lighter but same strong as normal. It is cheaper, better for insulation. If you want to make your own dont forget to put cup of washing up liquid into cement mixer as plastificator it will help plastic stick to concrete it has something to do with static electricity... I saw few bricks made from that material and boy they are strong but light and keep warm... I have some pictures somewhere...
