Plastics are classified by their “resin identification code” – a number from one to seven that represents a different type of resin. To find it, flip the container over and the number will be in the middle of a recycling triangle.

There are several things that you should be aware of when shopping for and using different plastic containers:

• Look for No. 2, No. 4 and No. 5. These transmit no known chemicals into your food.

• No. 1 polyethylene terephthalate is good for single use and accepted by municipal recyclers.

• Avoid No. 3 plastics, these interfere with hormonal development releasing dioxin.

• Hand-wash reusable containers gently; dishwashers can make areas for bacteria to grow.
