That’s silicone - and (after a quick fact check) essentially inert biologically

Some containers are. I have bought reusable silicone sandwich bags that you can freeze or put in the oven(up to 450 degrees F) if you leave the bag unsealed.

I also have entire silicone containers (work well for avocados etc)
