Speaking about water, when we want to bring water along with us, we need to use bottles. Beware of what bottles you are using, especially plastic bottles! I don’t know if you have already read this article which I posted some time ago, but I hope all my readers can spend a little time to read it.

Today I read an article from my inbox and would love to share with all of you. It’s about plastic. Is plastic toxic or safe for our health?

I believe that most of us will reuse the mineral water bottle. It’s cheap and convenient for us to find a storage for water.

Have you ever wonder what those numbers in triangle beneath those bottles mean? I used to think it’s a sign for people to categorize what sort of plastic it is before recycling. It’s not wrong, but I never think that such code can also tell us how safe is our plastic bottles.

These codes are known as resin identification code.

These codes are able to help us identify if our plastic bottles are safe to use or not. According to Wikipedia, plastics #3, #6, and #7 have been associated with negative health effects. [Source: Wikipedia]

And according to a Chinese article, it stated that plastics #1, #3, #6, #7 is not safe. [Source grabbed from Jay-han]

For details on why are those bottle unsafe, you can refer to the sources above. And for your information, most of the mineral water bottles are using plastic #1, which is not good for our health. Maybe it’s time for us to use proper bottles to bring water to school or work. Are you ready to discard all your unsafe bottles now?
