This logo is usually found under plastic cups, but the numbers in the triangles are different. The logo alone can not be used to determine the authenticity of the cup. In addition, the meaning of the numbers in the triangle is as follows:
No. 1“Pet: mineral water bottles, carbonated drink bottles do not recycle hot water bottles for use: heat-resistant to 65 ° C, cold-resistant to -20 ° C, only suitable for warm or cold drinks, high-temperature liquid, or heating is easy to deformation, harmful substances to melt out. In addition, scientists found that after 10 months of use, Plastic No. 1 May release the carcinogen DEHP, which is toxic to the testicles. As a result, drink bottles and so on are used up to throw away, no longer used as a cup, or used as storage containers for other items, so as not to cause health problems.
No. 2” HDPE: Cleaning Products, bath products are not thoroughly recommended not to recycle: can be cleaned carefully after re-use, but these containers are usually not easy to clean, residue of the original cleaning products, become a breeding ground for bacteria, you had better not recycle.
“No. 3” PVC: currently rarely used in food packaging it is best not to buy and use: this material is prone to high temperature harmful substances produced, and even in the process of manufacturing it will be released, toxic substances with food into the body, may cause breast cancer, birth defects and other diseases. At present, the containers of this material have been less used for packaging food. If in use, never let it heat up.
No. 4” LDPE: fresh-keeping film, plastic film and other fresh-keeping film do not cover the surface of food in the microwave use: heat resistance is not strong, usually, qualified PE fresh-keeping film at a temperature of more than 110 degrees C will appear hot melt phenomenon, will leave some of the body can not be broken down plastic preparations. And, with plastic wrap food heating, food in the oil is very easy to dissolve the harmful substances in the plastic wrap out. Therefore, food into the microwave oven, the first thing to take off the wrap wrap.
“No. 5” PP: Microwave Oven Lunch Box, preservation box because the microwave oven lunch box generally uses the microwave oven special PP (polypropylene, microwave oven special PP high temperature resistance 120 ° C, low temperature resistance -20 ° C) , because of the cost, the lid generally do not use dedicated PP, put into the microwave oven, you need to take off the lid can be used. Because all kinds of bayonet type fresh-keeping box mostly use transparent PP instead of dedicated PP, generally can not be put into the microwave oven use. Use: the only plastic container that can be placed in the microwave oven and can be reused after careful cleaning. Need to pay special attention, some microwave lunch boxes, the box body is indeed made of 5 PP, but the box cover is made of 1 PE, because PE can not withstand high temperature, so can not be put into the microwave with the box. To be on the safe side, take the lid off before putting the container in the microwave.
