Question from -E-

I’ve started a garden in pots. Although I know plastic (Labeled #5) is not the best of options it was all I could afford at the time and for the space I had .

I need to purchase more pots, but its getting rather pricey and was wondering if all plastic labeled #5 are all of the same food grade quality (Polypropylene)?

EX: Sterlite/Rubbermaid storage boxes or food storage containers compared to the plastic pots for planting? Is the material the same?

Thanks for your help on this matter.. As always its greatly appreciated!

#5 plastic, polypropylene, is one of the safest plastics. All polypropylenes have the same degree of safety.
