Plastics are one of the greatest and most prevalent human inventions… And also one with risks that have only recently began to get the proper attention.

It’s not only about the environment, wildlife or trash piles either. “Microplastics” are a particularly bothersome issue we’re not very sure what impact it will have and how to deal with it.

Another potential issue is hygiene, as plastic is easy to scratch, with the gaps becoming good home for microbes.

But plastics are also hard to avoid. Sometimes we just need to buy a drink in a plastic bottle, or we don’t have a store nearby to get cheese without plastic packaging. And the plastic containers are so practical to stock up the freezer…

Do you try to limit the use of plastics around food, or have you mostly given up on that particular cause?
