(OP)
Hi,
I recently found that one of our neighbors used a white colored material for landfilling named Geofoam. Anyone knows what is this exactly? Does it cause any kind of soil pollution?

There are two design concerns with geofoam. One is buoyancy. If the ground water table inundates enough of it, it'll pop out of the ground. That can be addressed by design. The other is attack by hydrocarbons. If diesel fuel, gasoline or other such compound leaks into the ground it'll dissolve. In practice, we cover the geofoam by HDPE or other such membrane.
