Why risk it when you could use a different container when microwaving? Convenience has a cost

It’s not just about the containers if you look at the big picture. Micro plastic is everywhere nowadays and if you set yourself to avoid it you’ll have a hard time. Even opening a plastic bottle releases micro plastic in the environment and now all supermarket food comes in plastic. Also the accumulated plastic seems to be reaching us already from the food chain, with marine food being full of micro plastic which goes to our bodies.

But maybe it’s worth avoiding it at all cost? That’s the big question.

Maybe at least avoid direct exposure when you can?
