Are we cooked?

Heating food in plastic packaging may be much riskier than we think

According to Greenpeace International’s  2026 report, based on 24 research articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals:

Heat accelerates the degradation of the material, causing up to 7 times more fragments to be released in the microwave than in the oven: 5 minutes in the microwave can release up to 326,000–534,000 micro and nanoplastics into the food.

The problem isn’t just the particles. Heat also promotes the release of:

  • bisphenols
  • phthalates
  • PFAS
  • antioxidants
  • metals

All of our solutions intended for direct contact with food are NO PFAS added and fall well below (<0.0019 mg/kg (=ppm)) the limits set by the new PPWR regulation 

Inoltre sono personalizzabili, idonei alla cottura e riscaldamento in microonde e/o forno tradizionale, riciclabili e compostabili secondo norma EN13432 ( se sporche).
