They can also impact your health.

Researchers extracted chemicals from 34 everyday products in a study. They identified 629 substances from a total of more than 55,000 chemicals. Eleven of these chemicals are known to cause disruptions in metabolism and promote fat cell growth. Bisphenol A and Phthalates are the most common fat-promoting chemicals. They can also be found in everyday plastics.

What are some alternatives?
Use glassware for leftovers instead of plastic containers, swap plastic straws out for stainless steel, bamboo or even pasta and/or rice straws, and avoid plastic cutlery when ordering takeout.
