But it's plastic!

How'd I get into this one?

A lot of people who know my obsession with all things natural, environmental and wholistic have questioned why I got into the Tupperware business..."c'mon" they say, "it's plastic! that's not 'sustainable' or 'healthy'!"  Well, I beg to differ...

Tupperware is environmentally friendly, it is a quality product backed by a lifetime warranty against chipping, cracking, breaking and peeling.  It follows the three R's that we teach as the first exposure to environmentally sustainable practices: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.  Using Tupperware will Reduce your environmental impact over the long run, reducing your use of disposable or often-replaced, cheaper super market plastic containers and disposable baggies and plastic wraps. Tupperware is durable and meant to last a lifetime, if it doesn't? If it chips, cracks, breaks or peels it will be replaced under the limited lifetime warranty!  The idea is to buy it once, use it for life.  How many of you are using Tupperware that used to be your mothers? or your grandmother's?  That brings us to  the second of the three 'R's ...reuse.  Buy it once and use it for your children and grandchildren's lifetimes.  And of course, Tupperware is a recyclable plastic product.  When I replace your items on warranty I recycle them after 30 days, sending them to reusable plastics recyclers to create other sustainable products.

So why doesn't Tupperware recycle their plastics into new Tupperware products?  Well, this brings us into the 'health' genre.  Tupperware uses the highest quality plastics with no known "yuckies" in them.  Because Tupperware is made from first run virgin plastics the exact formulas of every product line are known.  If a new "yuckie" is discovered, Tupperware is able to know exactly what product lines it may be present in and reformulate the plastic 'recipe' as they deem necessary.  See this link for Tupperware's Statement regarding Polycarbonate BPA.  See this link for plastic formula codes for the different product lines.  Potential toxins are not just a plastic issue...these issues come up in metal, ceramic, wooden and other food preparation and storage products (think non-stick coatings, aluminum water bottles, ceramic glazes, etc.)  Anywhere we have food being prepared or stored we have the potential to run into possible toxins that everyone initially deemed safe, or that no one even recognized as a health hazard...these issues cannot be avoided and are not singular to plastic products.  Tupperware takes your food storage and preparation safety seriously and has responded to previous consumer concerns above and beyond government regulatory requirements.

So I hope that that helps to clear up some of the questions around "why would a health-nut, sustainability advocate and all around wholistic lifestyle person get into plastic sales?"  The simple answer, I believe in the long-term sustainability of Tupperware products and know that Tupperware cares for my health and safety as a consumer.

What about glass? there is no toxin there and you don't have a petroleum product being mass produced and sold to at home mothers who buy it in bulk and much of it laying around and what if it does get sent back? just because its 1st gen doesn't mean all recycled plastic is sent to be reused- since there is soooo much Tupperware and other plastics there is no market for it all the time and it gets sent overseas.... USE GLASS
