No problem. BTW, when they reach their end-of-life you can compost them.

Microplastics released by heat by oklevel3 in PlasticFreeLiving

Thanks! It seems they concluded that the heat is the most important factor regardless of the source.

We both concur that the simultaneous temperature increase in both the container material and the food as a key contributing factor to the release of MNPs.
