Dear coolblues
As always.. a rocking topic.:thumbsupVery well presented.

I use plastics (tupperware) for dry storage and prefer not to store anything hot in plastics however superior the quality is.

I strictly avoid using plastics in microwave.

Thanks for sharing an informational piece of content on plastic usage. Though I very much restrict the usage of plastic bottles and containers, I try to buy only the branded ones.
I Also make sure to sell off used plastics items to junk collectors regularly.

Dear all:

Just spare a minute to turn the container upside down to check what grade of plastic the container is before you put any edible stuff in it.

Regards.

Hi Vidhya#4is used for things like plastic bags, food storage, bread bags, some food wraps, squeezable bottles. This is generally safe but is not recycled.

#5 is safe and is recycled.

Hope this helps.
