    This is a PSA that as a whole, the plastics recycling and packaging industry isn’t well regulated, and all those plastic drink and soda bottles at the grocery store that now say “Made with recycled plastics”? You have NO idea what type of plastics are in there now or the level of decay, and neither do the manufacturers.

    Do not drink out of, eat out of, or wear anything that is made from recycled plastics.

    Recycled plastics encountered in the world should be assumed to be toxic unless you know for certain they aren’t, and should not be considered fit for food use, medical use, or prolonged human contact.
