The Truth About Black Plastic
☝️Put a finger down if you had hot coffee with a black plastic lid today. ☕️
✌️Put a finger down if you ever ordered takeout sushi in a black plastic container. 🍱
Black plastic is everywhere, from sushi takeouts to coffee cup lids, meal prep trays, and microwave dinners. And that might be slowly harming your hormonal health. 🖤♻️
Much of black plastic is made from recycled electronics and industrial waste, which can contain toxic flame retardants. When heated, these chemicals can leach into food and are linked to hormone disruption, developmental harm, and increased cancer risk. On top of that, black plastic is nearly impossible to recycle, so it keeps circulating through our food system.
What to do instead: choose glass, stainless steel, paper, or clear plastics, avoid microwaving plastic, and support spots that use safer packaging.
Convenient ≠ safe. Choose the inconvenient route for your future. 🍽️⚠️
