Is the container glass or plastic, and if plastic, is it PBA free?

It is sturdy plastic that does not get extremely hot even holding boiling water. I use heat pads if I need to hold it for longer than just afew seconds. PBA, not sure.

Hello- this is Ruthy from The Handy House. There are 3 different sized wet containers all made with BPA-free Eastman Tritan® copolyester. Hope that helps- none are glass. You can count on Vitamix for quality and they will back up their products.

Plastic and after several months use, I'm very pleased with it. My coffee and wine (later purchase) both stay very fresh after opening the original container. I'm sure the plastic is better than glass would be for this product. One big factor is breakage. You must, must, must keep the gaskets around the rim clean and free of everything for best performance. Happy New Year, Hal

It's plastic, not really sure whether it's bpa free. We hardly used it. We bought a thermos that stainless inside work better. Hope this help.

The clear container jar is Glass. The black lid on top and the black base are plastic. It is sturdy and easy to handle. I really like it and it works for my needs perfectly.

Yes, it is plastic. blahh!!!! I kept it in the fridge to avoid leaching from the plastic. But prefer glass as well.

No, it's plastic. The container is so cute and I loved them but they came broken multiple times and broke when I screwed on the lid. The glass is so thin so it's easily broken. I ended up sending them back.

They are plastic; but there are no markings on the dish to indicate what type of plastic (PBA free?). They are easy to clean and maintain and still look brand-new when we wash the dog drewl off. :) Overall we have been happy with them.

I am not sure what type of plastic it is but I own a candy store and I store my candy in these. The health department approved them so I would guess they are up to specs. I love these containers they keep everything very fresh. Best containers money can buy.

NEW INFORMATION. I wrote directly to Libbey Glass and asked the question. Here is the response I got pasted from their reply: "Thank you for contacting Libbey glass. The material is BPA free. It is a polyethylene material." I can believe this; the material behaves like polyethylene of which there are many versions, and polyethylene is used in many medical implanted devices as well as a great deal of hospital equipment, e.g. IV bags and tubes and also in public water supplies. It's okay. This is my previous comment: The plastic parts are definitely NOT silicone. I've not yet been able to determine for certain what they are. I'm intrigued by Erika's comment suggesting there are two versions of the jar, one of which may have a silicone seal. The ones I received from Amazon do not have silicone seals, but polyethylene is perfectly safe in my opinion.

Its plastic, but not hard plastic; little flexible. I usually prefer glass; but I liked this one. You can carry it much lighter than glass jar.

I use mine frequently and haven't encountered a problem. It helps that Carol checked with Nordic and was told it's PBA-free.

No it is plastic, but a very heavy plastic. I really wanted glass but I was afraid of breaking. This is great, it is marked off in ounces and ml's. Easy to drink from, with no straw to get gunkey. I love it!

No the containers and there are two of them are both plastic. I hope this helps!

As it states in the product description "BPA free polypropylene container and lid"

Plastic, and beware ordering because it is packed so lightly that the glass jar will most likely break in shipment.
