Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Barb: The problem with this message is that most plastics are not going to be a problem, but that plastics that are meant to be disposable, such as pre-packaged water bottles, MIGHT be a problem. Cheap water bottles are not meant to be re-used like traditional “plasticware” (Tupperware, Ziploc containers, and the like); they are single-serving only. If you’ve ever reused a regular water bottle, like from Evian for example, you’ll notice after a week or so the water you refill it with starts to taste like plastic. This is an obvious sign that it’s starting to oxidize (as it was purposefully made to bio-degrade!). I don’t know if they’ve proven this to be cancer-causing or not, but I know they HAVE proven that this releases phytoestrogens from the bottle. I think the way to tell is by the number in the recycle triangle on the side…if I remember correctly, numbers 3 and 6 are the most common single-serving ones that should be tossed regularly. Although I think it should be fairly obvious as to what items are “single-serving only” anyway. The plastic trays and Styrofoam that microwavable meals come in are meant to be OK for one time use, but you’ll notice they tell you right in the packaging not to reuse.
