Plastic bottles can be reused

Recently, some people have said that plastic products are detrimental to health, and even drinking directly from the mouth to the plastic bottle mouth may cause chronic poisoning, and thus no longer use plastic bottles. In China's urban and rural areas, there are quite a number of families who are reluctant to throw away Coca-Cola bottles, mineral water bottles and other plastic products. They use them to hold oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, wine, tea, and soybeans, mung beans and other grains. After the bottle is poisoned, they all dump everything that is contained, and some even pour the drink into a cup for drinking.

In this regard, experts from the China Plastics Processing Industry Association pointed out that plastic packaging is now basically a polymer compound with a chemically stable structure that is not as scary as some people think and can be used repeatedly.

In fact, some of the above practices are due to the misunderstanding of polymer compounds. 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 highly corrosive acid-base solution, plastic materials are the safest packaging materials, but consumers need to be aware that the name of the toxic and hazardous solution must be marked on the bottle and it should not be touched by children. The place.

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. As for the prejudice and misunderstandings that people have with plastics today, it is more because of the bad influence of some unscrupulous manufacturers in the society that they use raw materials for recycling or inferior raw materials instead of safe and healthy raw materials to produce food packaging. 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. As long as it is a qualified product produced by regular manufacturers in accordance with technical standards, consumers can use it with confidence.
