5 Reasons You Should Switch from Plastic to Glass Containers

If you’ve ever owned a plastic container, you’ve probably witnessed it crack or fade in color over time. It becomes visually unattractive, and it’s not the same container you once bought. Even though these containers are undoubtedly useful, and can be used to store your foods or pack your kids lunches, they tend to absorb flavors, and so aren’t the most viable option for storage. In such circumstances, switching to glass containers may be the best option.
Here’s why.

1. It retains food flavor

Food and drinks retain their taste and freshness when stored in glass containers. Its impermeable surface keeps the contents of the container safe from contamination and unpleasant smells. Glass containers are also easier to clean and have fewer chances of food particles being overlooked while cleaning.

2. It’s cost-effective

Sure, glass is more expensive than plastic. However, it’s a one-time investment, and a worthy one as well. Your plastic container will fade in time, or become smelly, but the superior quality of your glass container will remain the same and you won’t need that second buy!

3. Long-lasting quality

Plastic and glass are both recyclable materials. Plastic, however, diminishes in quality after the recycling process, whereas glass does not. It remains the same, and is easily reusable. Recycled glass containers are just as great for use as newly made ones.

4. It’s visually appealing

Glass containers are more attractive than plastic ones. They can be clearly labeled and neatly organized. You can work with not only cute handwritten labels, but also choose to have the containers printed with a bespoke design that matches the theme of your kitchen décor to a tee. 

5. It’s better for your health

There are many chemicals added to plastic, one of them being bisphenol-A (BPA). When food items stored in plastic containers are heated up in the microwave, these harmful chemicals can transfer onto them. They are extremely dangerous, and can lead to hormonal problems. Glass containers are free of such issues, and don’t react with chemicals.
