Now, regular plastic in a recycling facility gets rid of these toxins? Is that what happens? Like, it can notice them and get rid of them, but in black plastic, it just can't be treated properly? Right.

Okay, so that's the black plastic. It can have flame retardants in it. It might come from e-waste. What about gray, white, red, all the other colors, spatulas? I do have two black ones and one gray one. So what about those?

No matter what. This has nothing to do with heat. It's just giving off little flakes.

Okay, so no cutting boards. I'm not going to give you no good plastics yet. I have to go through it a little slowly. What about storage containers? Like I have just a million plastic storage containers.

I have a couple of these very hard ones with the click in tops, but then those get lost because those are the most used. So they end up in my kid's backpack and they end up at school. And so then we just revert to the 3,000 takeout containers that we have sitting around. I can already see that. I already feel bad.

I am going to confess something now. This is what I think happens to most of us. We know and we don't know. So we sort of know what you said, and then it goes into a short-term memory hole. So what I know and don't know is that my son loves leftovers. He loves leftovers, like he'll take it over anything for lunch the next day. Of course he microwaves it.

Like, of course he puts it in the takeout container, takes it to school, and then microwaves it. That's like a perfect storm, right?

So is where we've landed with plastic no plastic at all or use the hardest plastic you can find? Like, what about those very sturdy plastic containers or are we just going for Pyrex glass?
