Miros customers demand glass water bottles instead of PET

MirosKunden fordern Glas-Wasser-Flaschen, statt PET

hello and good afternoon,

what is the situation with this request, are we getting blah blah blah again, or is there a possibility
that migros will address the concerns of its customers?

not one (1) glass bottle (mineral water) is available in the Migros beverage racks...
is this sustainable?

It's funny how it says at the top that the study was withdrawn due to suspicion of deception.

What is even more "crazy" is that Germany has been looking for a study on microplastics since 2014 (i.e. 5 years ago) and once again there is no money for it.

The fact that this study was also withdrawn (mind you, the study) not

the article, is precisely because of this, only for all those who have not read this, so we can all continue to eat plastic.

I wish everyone a healthy appetite.

Of course, nobody believes the evidence that plastic is unhealthy, but there is plenty of evidence to support it.

We used to eat out of dishes with lead in the glaze. That wasn't any better and is now banned (probably throughout Europe). I hope Migros tests crockery made in China for lead.

Is it possible to set this so that I don't receive every message on this topic in my mailbox?

For all those who are interested, here it is "unfortunately in English"

38 mineral waters were analyzed for microplastics using μ-Raman spectroscopy.

-

Microplastics were found in every type of water, almost 80% are between 5 and 20 μm in size.

-

A statistically significant difference to the blank value could only be detected in reusable bottles.

-

The particles found correlated with the materials from which the bottles / cartons were made.

-

This indicates that plastic packaging releases microparticles that are directly absorbed by the consumer.

Greetings to all ;-)

If I have understood correctly, reusable bottles are the worst performers. In any case, they contain the most particles per liter ? Does this mean that particles are released from the walls during rinsing (under high pressure)?

Well, the 9 illustrations to the left of the text are so small that I can't read them. They would probably be necessary to understand the study properly. And 35.95 dollars is too expensive for me. @silvi11: Did you buy the text? What material were the vessels used for the analysis? Perhaps the plastic is already being spread all over the earth with the rainwater... ?

? I didn't even understand the thing about Miros customers. I thought it was a typo and only just discovered it was intentional :

I feel very stupid right now. Or who is... who here ?
