1998716
I checked the whole box and it does not indicate what type of plastic it is. I have use this for over 20 years and it is the only plastic wrap I will buy. Far superior than SaranWrap or ClingWrap.

Vivian, I am sorry but I do not have a direct answer to your question. With all the talk of toxins leaching into food, I too was wondering since I have used this for so long and it is the best when it comes to sticking to a glass bowl etc....I can offer you what is stated on the box: use microwave-safe dish, allow one inch between food and wrap, turn a corner to vent, allow steam to escape before lifting package. Polyvinyl Films, Inc., 19 epot St, Sutton MA 01590, made in USA, www.stretchtite.com and phone 508.865.3558. I hope this helps you. I too will investigate. It is the best I have ever used!

Read all the answers below and all information available is the same for everyone. I found that I the choices for this type of product does put all into a questionable area. When they answer you at the website for Stretchtite - will look forward to their answer. One plus - MADE IN USA. Not sure, but Costco has a very similar product - Kirkwood brand. I had used this when unable to find Stretchtite - and it seemed to be the same product. On Balance - I made my choice on the fact that majority of these products are made of same material as a general rule - and I found this one actually protected my food when wrapped - did not come loose in the refrigerator.

I'm not sure since I don't have it in front of me, all I know is the stuff is much better than any other plastic wrap I've tried before. It's stronger and has a better grip on bowls and plates covered with it - no spills in the fridge. This may sound strange, but some body wrap products require you to wrap the area in plastic wrap - this stuff doesn't tear when I use it.

On our cups it is a #7 which means it contains a resin or combination of plastics. Plus is difficult to recycle because of this combination. It is said to use #7 at your own risk but my husband [74 years old] has used this cup for many years [or slight variation] and hasn't killed him yet. The one of ours that I looked at had a #4 on the outside and would seem that numbers may differ on what some others have.

Mine is plastic.... not even a year old yet and they are about wore out. I will be replacing mine.

It might be resin but I think it's plastic. Surprised that the type it's made out of isn't listed on here.

The one I ordered last week was glass. Before that it was plastic. Seems to be luck of the draw...

Plastic. I still think this is a quality product. The only problem I had was I had to return three of them to get the three that I wanted. Problem was in packaging and rough handling by the shgopper. My experience with Fedex is if it is breakable, they'l break it. I highly recommend this product.

They appear to be a #7 plastic, which according to the internet is a catch-all category which makes it difficult to know exactly what the composition is. BPA, etc, can not be ruled out from this category of plastics. I wish I had asked the same question. Otherwise the quality is very good.

It is smoked-colored 07 type plastic. This is a remarkably chemically inert very high quality plastic, more costly than glass.

I don't have any knowledge of that. It's plastic. That's all I can tell you.

I believe it's plastic, and the spouts have leaked on both of mine since day 1. My husband spent quite a bit of time trying to tighten the pieces, but he was only able to get 1 of them to stop leaking. Hope this is helpful.

It is made entirely of hard molded plastic....It really does work, I will say. I'm glad I bought it.

#7 is polycarbonate and it leeches BPA into your water. It's a hormone disrupter. Not safe. Any luck in finding safe plastic for 5 gallon water jugs?

The container is plastic, but dark brown. It has a code number of "7". I know that "7" means something, I just don't know what. I do know that this brand coconut oil was liquid when another brand that I had was still solid. I think this means something good... I'm just not sure what? I don't keep my oil long enough to worry about leaching, I don't think?

Plastic. As far as I can tell from my last faucet shopping experience, they all are. You can't tell that it's plastic from looking at it, and it has held up well for me, so I've quit letting it get on my nerves.

I just went and checked the package, but unfortunately the only information on the lable said simply "craft plastic." Sorry not to be able to help.

It is plastic. We were disappointed by the product as the suction power is not very strong. I would go up the next level.

Mine was plastic. Judging from previous answers they might be phasing the plastic one from their inventory.
