The Advantages of Glass Storage Containers
Glass food storage containers have more benefits than the plastic containers, making them a better choice for your needs.
Glass is Safer than Plastic
Glass is overall a safer for food storage than plastic. Chemicals from plastic containers may migrate from the plastic into your food. This commonly occurs when hot food is put into plastic or during microwave heating.
Glass food storage containers don’t leach unwanted, poisonous chemicals when in contact with food. Glass is inert and non-porous natural material. Glass containers are free from any leakage and safe for using over and over again.
Glass is Better for the Earth
There are many environmental concerns associated with the production and disposal of plastics. Plastic trash is the he most obvious form of pollution associated with plastic, that affects the environment. Plastics production also releases toxic chemicals into the air. Going plastic-free reduces the amount of plastic ending up in the waste stream. Once you buy a glass storage container you can use it almost indefinitely. Broken glass containers can be recycled. Recycling glass is cost-efficient and the process doesn’t compromise glass’ quality.
Glass Holds Heat Better than Plastic
Plastic containers can get warped in contact with hot food. Reheating food in plastic containers may cause them to melt, which increases the likelihood of chemical leaching.
When you are finished with dinner you don’t have to wait for the food to fully cool before transferring leftovers to a glass container. There is no need to worry about the transfer of toxic chemicals when the food is heated like with the plastic food containers.
