plastic bottles, are they safe ??



Have you ever wonder whether your plastic bottles are safe to be reuse over and over again..?

I had just put a hot water into my fav bottle when i realise that mine is PC #7..oh god..!


do you guys know why? 
polycarbonate(pc #7) is a type of leaching plastic. Same goes to polyethylene terephthalate ( PETE #1) , v-vinyl/polyvinyl (V #3) and polystyrene (PS #6).
these type of  plastic bottles leached more chemicals and toxics (especially BPA) compared to high density polyethylene  ( HDPE #2  ), or a  low density polyethylene ( LDPE #4), or apolypropylene ( PP  #5).

simply say :

Less Leaching Plastic: #2, 4, & 5
More Leaching Plastic: #1, 3, 6, & 7





Check out these codes / symbols under your water containers / plastic bottles.
