Hello,
Just as an example, yogurt is available in a glass jar, but the lid is coated with plastic on the inside. Or is there other yogurt? Or is that an exception, or do you simply not buy yogurt?
Of course I buy yogurt, and it took me a while to realize that yogurt in a glass jar is only half the battle and the "devil," i.e., plasticizers, are hidden in the lid.
By now, however, many manufacturers use so-called "Blueseal" lids. They should actually be identifiable by the inner blue rim; but only actually. For example, with Landliebe® it is simply white. I am hopeful that this will improve with European harmonization because in France, Bisphenol A has been generally banned for the production of food container lids since 2015. I use Tupper® when buying cold cuts and meat; they only use this chemical in products that are not heated anymore. So things are progressing.
(This is not criticism or an attack, just curiosity or a subtle hint that it’s not that simple to avoid plastics.)
I don’t take it that way; no worries!
It’s also not like I’m an eco-freak; it originally started because I simply got fed up with the mountains of trash created during shopping and wanted to avoid it as much as possible. You might imagine that I was looked at pretty strangely during the first months when I got rid of the secondary packaging right in the store or handed my Tupper® containers over the meat counter :D Today it’s common practice; the food suppliers provide separation systems at the exit.
At least I consider Lego completely harmless, it's been around for generations and lasts just as long ;-).
That’s reassuring to me too, and honestly? Playing with Lego is just fun ;)
Rhenish greetings
