The barrel is made of heavy-duty UV-Protected HDPE plastic panels, made from post consumer recycled material. You can contact the company at www.lifetime.com.

Constructed of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), the Compost Tumbler is durable, UV-protected, and has dark, double-wall panels to absorb and retain heat. I believe that BPA is found in polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. I do not believe it has BPA as it is made of polyethylene thermoplastic made from petroleum. I'm no expert, but do not believe it is. Also do not believe it contains PVC.

Updated.YES ALL these Tumblers are BPA..I just called the company..From reading the answers here, and from what I have read:If its Plastic, its BPA..Plastic is made from Petroleum-Oil..I'm calling the Company, as I was going to buy this, but want to know its Not BPA for sure. As that defeats my purpose in buying this..

They are made of heavy duty UV protected HDPE made from post consumer recycled material. As such they are PVC free and BPA free.

Yes on both accounts. This product is made from HDPE, which is BPA and PVC free. In fact, PVC is a different kind of plastic altogether. Here's some basic info: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/green-living/recycling-symbols-plastics-460321

I don't have the packaging any more so I can't say for certain if it said BPA free, but the way I understand it BPA is a plastic based issue and these mats are food grade silicone, not plastic.

I have my packaging here and it states "BPA and PVC free, made of 100% Food-Safe and FDA compliant materials." It doesn't state what those materials specifically are though. I'll provide you with the toll free number listed on the bag, though Amazon may block that out: 1xxxx888xxxx850xxxx0488.

I'm uncertain as I discarded the packaging. But I recall checking to see if there is BPA and as far as I can remember they are BPA free. The plastic is pretty rigid with solid colors - nothing clear. Perhaps someone with packaging can answer for certain.

It does not say on the product that they are bpa free and I no longer have the box. I went to the rubbermaid site and this along with many other products ARE bpa free.

I do know that they are made in the USA, so most likely they are BPA free. To the best of my knowledge, most plastics recently made in the USA are BPA free. I love mine. Have had them for a little over a year. We use them all the time, and have had only one crack.

Hello Stephen; I honestly can't tell you. But if I had a question about plastics containing BPA I'd probably not purchase them. If you could contact the manufacturer he should be able to give a definitive answer. Sorry I can't help you.

As far as I know only if they are medela brand. They sell them, but they are hard to find. If you end up having to use the plastic ones they at least are BPA free.

I can not find a statement that clearly says they are BPA free. Here is a page from the manufacturer. http://westbend.com/support/product-faqs/materials-statements/plastics.html

Sorry, I threw out the packaging so I don't know. I do recall that that are BPA free, so they do meet US safety standards.

BPA and PVC free. Unfortunately, it doesn't say anything about formaldahyde.

Christine, these are foam. 'PVC free'. Though the box does not say 'latex free'. Foam is not latex so it should be ok. I'm allergic to latex and have been using these things for 18years.

I am trying to find this out as well. I checked on the Target website and could not find where it states it is BPA free, only that it is PVC free.

They appear to be constructed of either polypropylene or polyethylene and neither of those use BPA. That chemical tends to only be used in vinyl or poly carbonate. Nordic Ware would probably provide you with an accurate answer if you shoot them an email.
