Hello everybody, we discussing the topic after a long time.
we drinking water daily, because it is one of our thing of living. How we drink that water.
we drink water using tumblers, steel, plastics etc.,
So,Now which is the healthy one .
Let's see about that....
In a waterbottles, the numbers that are printed inside a triangle, which is the universal symbol of recycling and is called a Resin Identification Code (RIC).
Originally introduced by the Society of the Plastics Industry ,the third largest manufacturing sector in the United States, the RIC is now being administered officially by ASTM International , an international standards organization.
Number 1 represents PET or polyethylene terephthalate.
average beverage bottles. Juices, soft drinks, bottled water. prolonged reuse of this plastic could be harmful. It is generally considered safe.
Number 2 represents HDPE or high density polyethylene.
It is thick and opaque and it is also recycling. It is based on storage containers like milk jugs, to store detergents, butter containers and other things.
Number 3 represents PVC or polyvinyl chloride.
Most of us think PVC Pipes and tubes. PVC is tough and rugged, it is considered highly dangerous to cook food items around or store them in.PVC plastics are used for various containers and hard packaging, medical tubing, and bags.
Number 4 represents LDPE or low density polyethylene.
Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is a thermoplastic made from petroleum which can be found translucent or opaque. It is flexible and tough but breakable and considered less toxic than other plastics, and relatively safe for use. It is a packaging material.
Number 5 represents PP or polypropylene.
Polypropylene is very safe for storage uses and is also widely accepted for recycling .It is generally considered a safer plastic for food and drink .
Number 6 represents PS or polystyrene, or Styrofoam.
It is highly dangerous, toxic chemicals when heated. It causes health issues.
Number 7 represents other
It is not to be used. It is not used to store foods and food consumption. It also contains health issues.
So, we suggest you to don't use plastics for food purpose. It is like slow poison. Use the steel water bottles and steel plates for food storage and food consumption.
Steel water bottles are little more expensive. Otherwise, you go with plastic 1,but no use longer. Especially for children.
