“I want to say one word to you. Just one word.”
Plastics. They’re the foundation of our business, but not all plastic is created equal. We have avoided making our recycled Preserve products from polycarbonate because of the possible adverse effects on the human reproductive system of the additive bisphenol A. Human exposure to bisphenol A is widespread as it is also used in epoxy resins that coat the inside of many food and drink packages. Many leading scientists are expressing concern over the exposure of pregnant woman and infants to
bisphenol A.
The Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction part of the National Institute of Health's National Toxicology Program is a good place to start to learn more. The September/October 2007 issue of Mother Jones magazine discusses bisphenol A as well as the possible health risks that can result from other plastic additives, like phthalates. And, yes, you won't find any of those in your Preserve brand products.
