1257What you are not told is that many of the plastics used are toxic and the chemicals used to create a plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food and drink.
Think about it, how many times have you or a friend said “I don’t like this, it taste like the plastic bottle ...... ”
THAT IS BECAUSE YOU ARE TASTING THE PLASTIC
The WORST are # 3, 6, and 7 !!!
DO NOT USE THESE NUMBERS if stated at the bottom of the bottle!!!
Reusing plastic bottles by refilling them is NOT a good idea.

Dear Boss,
Nice one, Baskar. The use of PET bottles is inevitable nowadays. Even most school-going children are using them. It would be better to mention which numbers are to be used. Numbers 1 and 2 can be used, I hope so.

Dear All,
Like plastic bottles, the menace of plastic bags is also a topic for debate. When you are purchasing food items from your neighbor's shop or a hotel, pay attention to the following:
1) The shopkeeper or supplier often uses plastic bags that are less than 40 microns, which can be harmful to health and the environment.
2) Sometimes, they blow air into the bag to expand it. Consider the amount of germs that may be transferred into the bag during this process.
3) If the food items are hot when placed inside the bag, the heat may cause plastic components from the bag (especially those with fewer microns) to dissolve and mix into the food.
I have attached a few files containing information and the most recent government rules regarding plastic bags. Remember to use only recyclable plastic bags with a thickness greater than 40 microns.

Please review the file that supports the use of plastic and addresses all the queries raised in the action sheet from my previous post. The article discusses the opinions of plastic manufacturers regarding the reusable and safe utilization of plastic bags. I welcome your comments on plastic usage.

Did you ever drink from a plastic bottle and see a triangle symbol on the bottom with a number inside?
Do you know what the number stands for? Did you guess that it's just for recycling?Then you are WRONG !!!!!!
THE NUMBER TELLS YOU THE CHEMICAL MAKE UP OF THE PLASTIC..... .1. Polyethylene terephalate (PET) 2. High density polyethylene (HDPE) 3. Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (UPVC) or Plasticised polyvinyl chloride (PPVC) 4. Low density polyethylene LDPE 5. Polypropylene (PP) 6. Polystyrene (PS) or Expandable polystyrene (EPS) 7. Other, including nylon and acrylicCheck out this chart that breaks down the plastic, its uses and chemical makeup.
What you are not told is that many of the plastics used are toxic and the chemicals used to create a plastic can leach out of the plastic and into the food and drink.

Thank you for your information.
A few days ago, in a training session, the trainer mentioned that the bottle labeled as no. 1 is not good for health. Instead of using no. 1 bottles, we should opt for no. 3 bottles. I am now feeling really confused. If you have any insights on what type of bottles we should use, please reply as I need to purchase new bottles for my office staff.
