Though it might seem like your children only finished school yesterday before you can blink the summer holidays will be over and it will be time for them to head back. We all know what that entails - endless pressure to buy new uniforms, as they’ve grown out of the old ones, new shoes to replace those that have been ruined running around the playground and new pens and pencils to replace those that...who even knows!
Going back to school probably also means, time for a new lunchbox. Tempting as it might be to go for the option of another cheap, plastic lunch box - what are the environmental and health impacts of such a choice?
There’s been a lot of talk about the negative impact of BPA plastic on health and its possible links to heart disease and even cancer. Even plastics labelled BPA are not safe as they typically contain something called BPS - a BPA equivalent that may be equally as toxic.
The contamination of BPA is so widespread that the US Centre for disease control found traces of BPA in 98% of the urine samples they took for a 2004 study.
