Do plastic cups contain bisphenol A?
"China is the world's largest producer and consumer of plastics. Plastic products make people's lives more convenient, but it also brings problems such as resource consumption and "white pollution. The recently released national think tank research report "China's Plastic Pollution Control Concept and Practice" pointed out that after years of hard work, my country has established a relatively complete waste plastic recycling system, and the amount of waste plastic recycling is the world's first.
A large number of different plastic waste is recycled and reused, creating huge economic value. However, it is worthy of our vigilance: a large number of toxic chemicals may also be through the recycling of plastic waste, into new consumer goods, waste plastics are recycling, toxic chemicals are also recycling. The information on toxic ingredients in new plastic products is incomplete, so it is impossible to obtain true and comprehensive chemical information when choosing plastic products, and consumers are faced with more unknown health risks.

Therefore, according to the information of toxic chemicals in plastic products, the non-toxic pioneer team conducted a survey on the migration of bisphenol A in 20 plastic water cup products, and found that 95% of the plastic water cup samples detected bisphenol A, even if the two models claimed to be "BPA-Free" (excluding bisphenol A) also detected bisphenol A." BPA China's regulatory standards on bisphenol A Bisphenol A is polycarbonate (PC), epoxy resin (EP) and other polymer materials, these polymer materials are widely used in the production of chemical products and food-related products, such as food packaging materials and containers. Articles containing bisphenol A are colorless and transparent, durable and lightweight, and have strong impact resistance, so they are very popular. However, as the temperature rises, bisphenol A will migrate to food through food packaging materials and containers, and then enter the human body, which also raises concerns about the health risks that bisphenol A may cause. 1 Countries have restricted the migration of bisphenol A in food-related products. For example, in 2018, the European Union issued Regulation (EU)2018/213 2 to revise the migration of bisphenol A in food contact materials, changing the migration of bisphenol A in the original food contact polycarbonate plastic ((EU)No.10/2011) from 0.6 mg/kg to 0.05 mg/kg, and stipulating that it shall not be used in the manufacture of polycarbonate baby bottles, infant drinking cups or drinking bottles. In 2011, six departments in China jointly issued the Announcement on Prohibiting the Use of Bisphenol A in Infant Bottles (No. 15 of 2011). The Announcement stipulates: Considering that infants and young children are sensitive groups, in order to prevent food safety risks and protect the health of infants and young children, the production of polycarbonate infant bottles and other infant bottles containing bisphenol A is prohibited from June 1, 2011; When producing food packaging materials, containers and coatings other than infant bottles, the amount of migration shall meet the limits set by relevant national food safety standards. 3 According to GB 9685-2016 "National Food Safety Standard Food Contact Materials and Additives for Products" and GB 4806.6-2016 "National Food Safety Standard Food Contact Plastic Resins", the specific migration amount (SML) of bisphenol A in coatings and coatings, adhesives and plastic products shall not exceed 0.6 mg/kg.
