Drinks contained in glass bottles contain more microplastic particles than those in plastic bottles, cartons or cans. This was the surprising finding of a study conducted by the Boulogne-sur-Mer unit of the ANSES Laboratory for Food Safety. The scientists hypothesised that these plastic particles could come from the paint used on bottle caps. These findings have highlighted a source of microplastics in drinks that manufacturers can easily address.
For what is worth I’ve studied a few soft metals under the microscope. It is incredibly easy to scratch and make particles. I mean unbelievably easy.
So think up, what happens when you scrape food like eggs from your non stick pan? How about those aluminum or steel pans using stainless utensils? How about the plastic forks and spoons at the fair or from a food truck? Literally everything I can think of using is creating micro particles. Maybe if the utensils were made or coated in edible films?
