Polycarbonate (Clear) – Excellent in terms of durability and is temperature resistant between -40 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Typically, can run through approximately 1200 dish cycles without showing signs of tarnishing or breaking down. One negative is that this product contains BPA which some may find undesirable due to known links to birth defects and other reproductive harm.
Polyethylene (White) – High strength and wear resistance plastic that also demonstrates resistance to mildew, mold, and rot. Considered to be a safer alternative to polycarbonate containers because it does not contain BPA. However, it can only handle temperatures between 32- and 160-degrees Fahrenheit and should thus only be hand washed or run through low temp chemical sanitizing dishwashers.
Polypropylene (Translucent) – Softer plastic material with better thermal resistance than polyethylene that makes it ok for use in the microwave, dishwasher and freezers because can handle temperatures between -40 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Like polyethylene it is also considered to be a safer alternative to polycarbonate regarding food contact because of the absence of BPA, and is non-reactive when exposed to acids, bases, and detergents.
