what are the plastic lids made of? Is there a number inside a recycling triangle printed anywhere on the lids, or mentioned anywhere on the box?

Ocean Breeze, I have this newest Snapware Glasslock set (just bought 2 on sale at Costco for $24 each on Friday, 8/31). The # imprinted on the lids (visible under one of the flaps that snap the lid down) is 5. I just looked at my old set(s) (bought at Costco within the last 2-3 years) and they also read "5." I just googled it ("which #'s of plastic are safe/unsafe?") and the first hit indicates that #'s 2,4, & 5 are the safest.

I don't find a recycle number. No numbers except on the bar code . The contents are manufactured for Nutiva in Oxford, CA and is a product of the Philippines. The jar bottom has a triangle with a number 2 in the middle, with the word hope underneath. To the left of the triangle and the word 'hope' is the number 4. Under that is what appears to be a letter 'C' back to back with another one. Sorry I can't help you more.

There is no indication on the underside of the lid regarding what type of plastic the lids are made of.

I don't know; there's no recycling code on the bottom of the collecting containers. Their email address is omega@omegajuicers.com

No recycling symbol that I can see, a triangle with the letter "P", to the side I see the number "241" and in the center bottom, on the round turning part of the container there's a "P88". Looking at it from the inside, all the way at the bottom there are two marks, "17B" and "PS3". Hope this helps.

I don't see the recycling symbol anywhere on the cup or lid. It does say they're made with 20% recycled material, but I don't think they are recyclable.

There is no number inside of the recycle symbol on the bottom of these bottles. It is blank, and simply states BPA free below the symbol.

The jars are glass, the lids are plastic. They work great and I use my jars all the time... especially now that I have the lids with the straws in them and can access freshly made juices, etc away from home

I would like to know about the lid itself. I though they make their lids in China. I worry about the plastic, don't think boiling water is a good idea in this one due to plastics leaching chemicals.

The lid itself is stainless steel. The lid is part of a 4.5 inch top section that is removed in its entirety to to remove the 2 trash bins within. There is a hard plastic lining and trimming the top stainless steel top section.

Jerry I went and looked at the wrapper around the bottle and i am sorry to say it does not say. I would recommend going to rubbermaid web site and checking there. I know before I bought them I checked what number the plastic was and it was safe to reuse and that's why I bought them. i love them by the way.

The container doesn't say the recycled content of this bin and we don't have the paperwork any longer. Information on the bottom of the container says the following: - Manufactured in USA for S.P. Richards Co., Atlanta, GA. - Model GJ057258 - The recycle triangle sign with LLDPE next to it. - Two clock like circles with a single clock arm in each. The first one has numbers 1-12 and the arrow points to 7. The second has the numbers 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, and 13. The arrow on this one points to 10. I think these two indicate the manufacture month (7) and year (2010).

They seem to be made out of a heavy duty plastic - there is no recycle icon or number on any of the bottoms-hope this helps!

No plastic just a silicone?seal that is remove able around the edge of lid. Careful who you order from fly sports did not send me the item pictured and I had to reorder from someone else.

Unsure- the lid is mainly metal within a plastic seal. The seal may have BPA but am unsure

The entire lid is made of plastic, but the two interlocking plastic segments have a rubber (or it could be silicone) ring that seals the lid against the glass jar. It's rather ingenious.

I am fairly confident that these containers do not contain bpa. The recycling code marked on the containers is a 5, which indicates polypropylene. According to Wikipedia, "plastics that are marked with Resin Identification Codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are very unlikely to contain BPA. Some, but not all, plastics that are marked with the Resin Identification Code 7 may be made with BPA."[40]
