Polypropylene (PP) is the second most common standard plastic after polyethylene. It has similar properties and is used in a variety of ways in the food industry.
Polypropylene is highly resistant to fats and most organic solvents.
The wide range of applications for polypropylene in the automotive industry, electrical engineering, construction, the textile industry and the like is also reflected in its use as a food-safe plastic: PP is used, for example, to make yoghurt pots, bottle caps, transport and storage containers for hot and cold food, boil-proof films, cooking utensils, dishwasher parts and packaging films.
In the course of "plastic bashing", absurd advertising statements are now being made that suggest that a high percentage of recycled material is used in order to achieve "green washing".
Hands off plastics that advertise like this! Recycled material has no place in the transportation of water, especially drinking water, because the origin of the recycled material can never be proven beyond doubt
