Plastic bottles can be reused

The plastic bottles of mineral water, carbonated beverages, fruit juices, and other beverages that are currently on the market are beautiful in appearance, stylish in design, and easy to carry, and are very popular among people. After drinking the beverage, it is reluctant to throw it away and keep it for reuse. In particular, primary and secondary school students, sanitation workers, taxi drivers and migrant workers often use bottled drinking water for used mineral water. And more people love to use these plastic bottles to contain oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, wine, tea, and soybeans, mung beans and other grains. This kind of repeated use is a kind of “low-carbon” living behavior, but it is amplified by the media to release toxic substances carcinogens and endanger human health. This is obviously caused by the deviation in understanding.

From the birth of plastics to today, plastic products have gone through a hundred years of history together with human beings and have made indelible contributions to social and economic progress and improvement of people’s living standards. Today's plastic products are basically high-molecular compounds, chemical structures are stable, although there are indeed some toxic substances, but the possibility of release under normal or frozen conditions is minimal. Plastic products such as coke bottles and mineral water bottles will deform after they are filled with boiling water, but they will not affect their safe use. They will only undergo a major change in their appearance, and their internal molecular structure will not undergo essential changes and will not produce toxic or hazardous substances. . When a metal brush is used to clean a plastic bottle, even if the plastic bottle is worn out or inside, it only destroys the surface finish without causing damage to the molecular structure. As for the acidic and alkaline solutions that are highly corrosive, plastic materials are the safest packaging materials.

Dr. Rolf Hutton of Johns Hopkins University, who specializes in toxins, points out that plastic bottles or Plastic Containers that are reused or used after freezing will not be harmful to health. Dr. Hatton believes that toxins are ubiquitous in life, so many organisms have a small amount of toxic substances. These toxic substances produce toxic by-products from combustion during industrial processing and are released into the air in large quantities. Over time, it may permeate the food chain, but the vast majority of toxic substances still spread through the air.

In fact, plastic bottles also have "identity cards." According to experts from the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, the bottom of a plastic bottle generally has a triangle marked with three arrows, meaning that it can be recycled and recycled. The recycling mark is a common method used by countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan. As early as 1996, China issued the “Recycling Marks for Plastic Packaging Products”. With the development of science and technology today, our engineering and technical personnel are fully capable of ensuring the safety of plastic food packaging for human health. Therefore, plastic bottles or containers will not be as long as they are qualified products produced by regular manufacturers in accordance with technical standards, and they are used properly. Releasing chemical contaminants allows people to use them safely.

As for the prejudice and misunderstandings that people have today about plastics, it is more because some unscrupulous manufacturers in the society are eager to use their raw materials to produce food packaging that replaces safe and healthy raw materials with recycled or inferior raw materials. This has caused adverse effects on society. Reminder for such plastic bottles or plastic containers.
