Is there a type or number plastic that is safe for herb storage?

Hi Deana,

 

Plastic is a petroleum based product, which you want to minimize as much as possible. Depending on the type of plastic there are problems with "off gassing" where you will get chemicals coming off the plastic into whatever you have in it. Glass is best. :)

Hi Sharon,

 

Here is a web site with a WEALTH of information on this whole subject (just found it in google). Specifically, in regards to the number (found on the bottom of the container) that would be better it says the following:

 

Avoid plastics with the #3 recycling code that indicates PVC; #1 and #2 plastics are safer since they are chlorine-free.

 

Hope this helps. :)Kelli
