The kitchen is the room with the highest concentration of plastic-chemical exposure sources: plastic wrap, cutting boards, food storage containers, utensils, and appliances. Heat dramatically accelerates chemical leaching — a plastic container microwaved once can release millions of microplastic particles into food.
Why We Recommend This Product
Epicurean's wood fiber boards are a significant improvement over plastic cutting boards. The Richlite material doesn't harbor bacteria like plastic can, and there's no microplastic shedding. The formaldehyde-based binder is a minor concern but well-encapsulated.
