J. J.'s List: Plastics

While finding BPA free plastics is becoming easier and easier, there is also a growing movement to avoid plastics all together – in part because of the widely publicized findings with respect to BPA. In place of plastic baby and water bottles, aluminum and stainless steel water bottles are becoming more popular and their availability is more widespread. Using glass for food storage and heating is also gaining more popularity. Some food companies have moved from selling food in plastic containers or cans to selling it in boxes and jars. Many major retailers including Amazon.com now offer ways to search for BPA free goods.
