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 acrylic
What you aren’t 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 / 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’S BECAUSE YOU ARE TASTING THE PLASTIC
