As a result, sustainable packaging is no longer just an option, but an almost mandatory requirement. In the following article, we will analyze the different types of plastic and see the advantages of using plastic food containers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several types of plastic for containers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several types of plastic that can be used for different functions. In all, we can count 7 families of plastics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polyethylene terephthalate<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plastic is mostly used for water bottles, soft drinks and disposable packaging. However, in hot weather, it is possible that the plastic will migrate into the water or food. In terms of recyclability, this plastic is considered to be good.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High density polyethylene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plastic is used for opaque milk or juice bottles and ice cream tubs. However, like the plastic above, in hot weather, it is also possible that the plastic migrates into the water or food. Finally, this plastic is also considered good for recycling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polyvinyl chloride<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plastic is used for plastic food wrap, peanut butter jar and lunch bag. Regarding migration in food, this plastic is to be avoided and has a low recyclability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-density polyethylene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plastic is generally used to make plastic bags, freezer bags and plastic food wrap. It is strong, stable and has a low risk of migration into food. In terms of recyclability, this plastic is not very good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polypropylene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This plastic is mostly used for baby bottles, yogurt cups, margarine and clear containers for prepared meals. This plastic is very heat resistant and good in the microwave. As far as recyclability is concerned, this plastic is very good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polystyrene<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one is used for disposable plastic tableware, coffee cups and lid. This plastic is a very good insulator but is not very good in terms of recyclability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polycarbonate, epoxy resins, teflon, melamine, rubbers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These plastics are used for water bottles, inner linings of food cans and pans. In terms of migration and recyclability, these plastics are weak.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits of plastic containers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is obvious that plastic containers are not the only option for storing food. However, they do provide several advantages that are not negligible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, plastic containers are very light and have a greater durability since they are malleable and less fragile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, in terms of safety, plastic containers are ideal especially for children. Even if the container is dropped, plastic is able to withstand the impact without breaking and causing damage. For example, a glass container could shatter and hurt someone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, plastic containers are often less expensive than other materials such as metal or glass containers. It is therefore easy to buy several plastic containers at an affordable price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Order online with Ralik<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any plastic container order or other, do not hesitate to contact us by phone or go directly to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ralik.ca\/en\/catalog\/manufacturer\/produit-plastique\/3-food-packaging\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">our 24\/7 transactional website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
