The microplastics thread. Food, Packaging, Utensils, etc

I’m currently using large silicone ice trays with covers for supplements. each day, I transfer the contents to a paper cup, which is probably not the most efficient way to do this.

I love mine! Very expensive, but it will last me a life time. Nice and sturdy, love the magnetic features, and super easy to fill (much easier than my old plastic one):

Paint again. Why not just not paint the caps? I never knew paint was such a bad thing.

Stay away frm the gulf cost

I thought, wow they figured out how to refine their product better to get the plastic out. No, they took out the plastic measuring scoop. I had to read for 10 minutes to figure it out. So go find your own spoon, or carve one out of wood. They’re bragging about this on the label without explaining it.

The study found an average concentration of nanoplastics near coastlines of 25 milligrams per cubic meter of water — about the weight of a single large bird feather.

“We all expected nanoplastics, the surprising part is the amount of it,” said Sophie ten Hietbrink, a doctoral student at Stockholm University in Sweden and a lead author of the study. She spent four weeks on a boat expedition collecting samples of water across nearly 3,500 nautical miles of coastlines and open ocean near Europe, led by Helge Niemann, a professor at Utrecht University and a scientist at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research.
