What are Plastic Containers?
Plastic containers are containers made exclusively or partially of plastic. Plastic containers are ubiquitous either as single-use or reusable/durable plastic cups, plastic bottles, plastic bags, foam food containers, Tupperware, plastic tubes, clamshells, cosmetic containers, up to intermediate bulk containers, and various types of containers made of corrugated plastic.
The entire packaging industry heavily depends on plastic containers or containers with some plastic content (e.g. plastic coating or when made of composite material), besides paperboard and other materials. Food storage nowadays relies mainly on plastic food storage containers.

Why is plastic used for food packaging?
But studies have shown that plastics are often more efficient. Being both strong and lightweight means plastics can ship more products with less packaging material than alternatives.
And using less material in the first place results in significant reductions in energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste.
Which plastic containers are safe?
High-density polyethylene, or HDPE. Most milk jugs, detergent and juice bottles, butter tubs, and toiletries containers are made of HDPE. Usually opaque in color, this plastic is considered safe and has low risk of leaching.
