How We Made Our Decisions

Above is a table of plastic containers made from safer #2, #4 and #5 plastics organized by intended purpose (column 3). To learn why these plastics are better see What To Look For so you know which plastics are safe when you're shopping.

There are thousands of better plastic containers on the market, and this is by no means an exhaustive list. We tried to find a good selection of safer plastics (#2, #4 and #5) available at major retailers and grocery stores.
