Microplastics

When is QVC going to start addressing microplastics in the construction of the products it offers for sale??

Especially the ones that are used for the preparation or storage of food?

Never.

That would be the job of the manufacturer

Almost everything manufactured has microplastics in it...from Polyester clothing and sheets, cosmetics and cosmetics arriving in plastic jars or plastic containers, soles on shoes, faux leather and many other items.

There would be very little on the shelves anywhere if microplastics were addressed and banned.

What should QVC do about this? This is a project for our government to straighten out. By the time it is addressed, it will have been too late. It's already everywhere.

How about medicine capsules, supplements, vitamins. They're in everything.

If QVC refused to sell anything with microplastics they'd be out of business.

Impossible. It's the world we live in now. Get use to it.

A person with too much time on their hands.

NO! "Do not get use to it" as someone flippantly responded. Micro plastics are harmful across the board. They are everywhere. I noticed everything I came home with from the grocers had plastic wrapped around it.

I am doing little things like water bottles made of glass, storage containers made of glass, and substituting what I bring home from the grocers with reuseable cloth bags.

There so many health problems attributed to plastics. Just because they are everywhere doesn't mean you can't make your own world healthier.

Microplastics are in the air we breathe and in the water we drink. There isn't a place on earth where they can't be found. Reducing microplastics in the home can help but to reduce all of it is impossible. It's an uphill battle.

There is no definitive scientific evidence that mp causes health problems. Everything so far is only speculative and more research needs to be done. There are a lot of unknowns concerning mp and its potential links to certain health issues.
