Presentation transcript:

 Our homes are full of plastic, and the kitchen is no exception. The problem: Chemicals in plastic containers and other kitchenware may leach into the foods or drinks that they're holding. Scientific evidence suggests that some of these chemicals may be harmful to people, especially infants and children.  The bottom line is that plastic is made from toxic materials. It’s a known fact that these toxins can leach into whatever they come into contact with. And it’s a known fact that when the compounds that make up plastic are ingested, they damage your body on a cellular level and cause health problems. Plastic Containers

 There’s a simple logic to creating a smooth- running kitchen and it begins with you. Consider where and how often you use your kitchen items. Arrange things used frequently so that you can easily see and reach them. You can make your kitchen organized with Handyware!  Food storage containers keep everything tidy and easier to find, so you can concentrate on the cooking. See-through sides let you tell at a glance when you need to re-stock. Handyware

5 reasons why you should use Handyware & try to avoid inferior plastic containers

 It’s typical to suffer from a variety of health problems as you age. But is this just “part of getting older”? Or is this perhaps the result of a toxic overload in the body? It’s common knowledge that illness and disorders such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, heart disease, vision impairment and many others health problems are all on the rise.  More and more research is proving that toxic compounds found in plastic cause health problems ranging from cancer to infertility.  Whereas Handyware containers are made from non-toxic PP material that keeps the food safe for longer duration  Excellent quality silicon latex band keeps the container air and leakage proof 1. Toxic Compounds in Plastic Can make you Sick

 Plastics that contain the super toxic compound bisphenol A (BPA) have been in the news a lot lately. And for this reason, consumers have been duped into thinking that if a product is “BPA- free” it’s perfectly safe. But this is not true.  The bottom line is – you can’t 100% trust that any plastic doesn’t contain compounds that are toxic to your body.  But Handywrae is FDA/ISO/CE certified  Non toxic material helps keeping food fresh and healthy 2. There’s No Such Things as Safe Plastic

 The ability to produce a healthy child is a wondrous miracle and an amazing event in one’s life. But toxic compounds found in plastic could be making this difficult, if not impossible, for millions of people.  For example, almost all plastics contain toxic chemicals that have a negative effect on immunity and hormone regulation, both of which directly affect fertility. Specifically, BPA (Bisphenol) has been found to make it more difficult for women to conceive and to cause increased risk of miscarriages.  New research is also showing that toxins found in plastic can cause birth defects and developmental problems in children.  Handyware is highly durable and made from high grade Polypropylene material. 3. Plastics can cause Fertility & Reproductive Problems

 There are lots of reasons why nearly two-thirds of American adults are either overweight or obese. But one of them may be the vast amounts of plastics our food and beverages come in contact with.  bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), may actually cause stem cells to become fat cells. This kind of chemicals store the calories instead of passing them through. 4. Chemicals in Plastic can lead to Obesity

 Firstly, plastics are in most cases made from petrochemicals through an energy-intensive process that itself creates lots of pollution and toxic discharge. The fact is, every plastic container you use is making the planet less habitable. Also, most plastic in the world is not recycled and usually ends up in landfills, where it degrades very slowly. 5. Plastics are terrible for our Planet

 The best solution, which is affordable, convenient and really safe is glass and certain types of metal. Here are some great solutions.  Break-proof glass water bottles  Stainless steel containers  Handyware Containers: o Non toxic material helps keeping food fresh and healthy o Breakage resistant material reduces chances of breakage o Air tight property helps preventing leakage, contamination of stored contents o Microwave, dishwasher safe o Versatile use in microwave, refrigerators, storage of dry fruits/food grains, heating purposes, etc. o Transparency of the plastic allows visibility of stored contents o Fit for storage of greater quantity of food products like cereals, flour, pulses etc. What are your Best Solutions?
