Are you drinking plastic tea?

4/10/2020

Did you know?⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
Plastic tea bags can release billions of microplastics into your drink.  ⁣
.⁣⁣
They are generally used by premium brands, and contain polypropylene. These tea bags are generally the ones with a pyramid shape.⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
Canadian researchers found that a single plastic teabag can release ~ 11 billion microplastics in your tea.⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
Even if most of teabags are made from paper, they still contain a small amount of polypropylene used to seal the bag which makes them non recyclable and non compostable.⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
Although some brands are starting to create compostable teabags, they still produce a huge amount of waste due to individual packaging.⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
So what can you do?⁣⁣
.⁣⁣
Buy you tea in bulk (loose), and use a tea infuser or tea strainer. Zero waste, zero plastic! Easy as that!⁣⁣
