Health tips
The main raw material for making beverage bottles is polypropylene plastic, which is non-toxic and harmless. It has no adverse effect on the human body when it is used for containing soda cola beverages. However, since plastic bottles still contain a small amount of ethylene monomer, if long-term storage of alcohol, vinegar and other fat-soluble Organic matter will cause a chemical reaction. Long-term consumption of food contaminated with ethylene can cause dizziness, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, memory loss, etc., and severe cases may also lead to anemia. In addition, the bottle is filled with wine, vinegar, etc., and the bottle is aged by oxygen, ultraviolet rays, etc., releasing more ethylene monomer, so that the wine, vinegar, etc. stored in the bottle for a long time deteriorate and taste. For beverages that do not contain other liquids, it is recommended that the beverage company indicate the following warning in the bottle packaging:
Bottom mark
"No. 1" PETE
Mineral water bottle, carbonated beverage bottle
Drink bottle, recycle water
Use: heat resistant to 70 ° C, only suitable for warm drinks or frozen drinks, high temperature liquid, or heating is easy to deform, there are substances harmful to the human body. Moreover, the scientists found that after 10 months of plastic products, it may release the carcinogen DEHP, which is toxic to the testes.
"No. 2" HDPE
Cleaning products, bath products
Cleaning is not thorough, it is recommended not to recycle
Use: It can be reused after careful cleaning, but these containers are usually not easy to clean, leaving the original cleaning products and turning into a hotbed of bacteria. You should not recycle them.
"No. 3" PVC
Currently rarely used for food packaging, it is best not to buy
"No. 4" LDPE
Cling film, plastic film, etc.
The cling film is wrapped in a microwave oven on the surface of the food.
Use: The heat resistance is not strong. Generally, the qualified PE cling film will have a hot melt phenomenon when the temperature exceeds 110 °C, leaving some plastic preparations that cannot be decomposed by the human body. Moreover, the food wrapped in plastic wrap is heated, and the fat in the food can easily dissolve the harmful substances in the wrap film. Therefore, when the food is placed in the microwave oven, the wrapped plastic wrap is first removed.
