Turn the bottle or can upside down and see if the bottom contains a plastic resin identification code

Although we do not want to debate the direct or indirect effects of BPA in plastics, we do know that many common plastic resins used in our 250ml Plastic Lotion Bottle and jars do not contain BPA.

If you want to make sure that the plastic container you buy is "BPA-free", just look at the "Material/Resin" section of the sidebar filter located on the left side of the plastic container catalog page, and then select one of these options: PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP or PS. All these resins are BPA-free.

If you are looking at a plastic bottle or jar at home and want to know that the bottle or jar is generally considered BPA-free, please follow these steps:

Turn the bottle or can upside down and see if the bottom contains a plastic resin identification code (usually called a recycling code). The symbol has a number (from 1 to 7) surrounded by three chasing arrows shaped like triangles.

If you see 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6, you can easily assume that the bottle or jar does not contain BPA.

If it is 3 or PVC, it may contain BPA. PVC is no longer used in most food and beverage containers, and its use as a food lining material for metal cans is also decreasing.

If you see 7, you will not be able to determine whether it has BPA or not, because 7 is considered the "catch-all" category for all other plastic resins. If you know that the plastic bottle is made of PVC material, the bottle will contain BPA.

The plastic wide-mouth packaging machine with identification code 2 on the bottom identifies it as an HDPE plastic bottle.

The plastic bottle identification code is stamped on the bottle during its manufacturing process. The symbol is stamped on the mold, so it cannot be changed in post-production. Many companies with dedicated production lines will also determine the exact resin used by the resin manufacturer.
