Rubbermaid Goes Green on Container Discoloration
By

Below is a photo I took myself. I’m no professional photographer, but
what you can see from this picture is that these two Rubbermaid BPA free food containers bare no sign of
food stains or discoloration. I photographed them on a white café table, so if
they did, you’d be able to see it.
So
what, right? Soooooo, I’ve personally been using these two food containers in a
non-profit coffee house and café where I volunteer on weekends. These two
containers have been filled with
either strawberries or a mix of blueberries, blackberries and raspberries,
pretty much 24/7 for the last nine months. The berries are kept in a cooler
below the bar where we store ingredients for smoothies and frozen drinks.
These
containers have been stacked one atop the other and slid in and out of that
cooler thousands of times, and yet they show no sign of scratches or wear. At
least three or four times a week, we run them through a dishwasher, and yet they
show no signs of cloudiness or milky discoloration. Because we only have two of
them, we immediately refill them with berries after each washing, yet there are
no signs of red or blue berry stains on either the containers or the lids.
I’m impressed with the way these two Rubbermaid
BPA free food containers have held up. There are no chips or cracks on either of
them and the bright red and blue capacity markings have not faded a bit. We look
forward to using them for years to come and plan to buy more.
Rubbermaid began
moving away from polycarbonate plastic and introducing an all BPA free line of products in 2011. Go to our Jean's Restaurant Supply Rubbermaid
