How to buy plastic water cups?

1. Different materials of plastic water cups

PET: Commonly found in mineral water bottles, poor acid and alkali resistance, only available for single use, and can easily release microplastics at high temperatures.

HDPE: Milk bottles, etc., have good high temperature resistance, but may oxidize and aging after long-term use.

PP: Microwave oven lunch box material, the only heatable food grade plastic (temperature resistant to 120℃), suitable for reuse, can be used for sports plastic water cup making.

PC: Some space cups are used. If they contain bisphenol A (BPA), you need to be vigilant. The EU has banned the use of infant products. The PC material without BPA can also be used safely with sports plastic water cups.

Tritan‌: It does not contain bisphenol A (BPA), has passed the FDA, the EU and China triple certification, and is highly chemically stable. It is suitable for long-term drinks such as juice, milk tea. It can be used safely for sports plastic water cup production.

Tips to avoid pit avoidance: Avoid purchasing cups without labels or labeled as "(PVC)" and "(PS)". This type of material may contain plasticizers or benzene.

2. Scenario-based matching: from the office to the outdoors

Daily commuting: Choose a PP/TRITAN material cup with sealing ring, which is leak-proof and can be filled with hot water. It does not contain bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol S. It has stable chemical properties and will not release harmful substances in daily use.

Sports scene: Priority PP/TRITAN material (safety), impact resistant and odor-free. PP is high temperature resistant and can be used for fitness protein powder brewing.

Children's use: Observe the "BPA Free" logo, and check the interface hygiene regularly when designing with straws.

3. Health risk prevention and control: Four-step self-test method

Smell: Pungent odor may retain industrial solvents.
Look: The inner wall is worn, yellowed or cracked and needs to be replaced immediately.
