What plastic plates, bottles, utensils, etc. are safe? Are Nalgene's possible problems limited to Nalgene?

Question

Or are all plastics unsafe? Generally, we won't put plastics in the microwave but are there leaching problems with all plastics?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If a plastic is only used once there generally aren't big problems.  If you reuse any type of plastic bottles, they will degrade over time and create problems with the water, boiling and freezing of plastic accelerates the problem.
