think it would be a helpful tool for people interested in this topic!
- kbaker 2y agohmm, I think some of your ratings might be very misleading. One of the ideas behind plasticlist was looking at things like plastic packaging leaching into the product itself, which wouldn't be in the ingredients list. For example, you list Fairlife Core Power Chocolate Protein Shake as 100/100 but it is on the plasticlist report as containing levels of DEHP and DEHT, likely coming from the packaging. Not sure what an accurate rating would be, but not 100 for sure. Maybe it works for non-food items better, but for food it might be counterproductive.
- eabnelson 2y agoyep that is a great point! I am taking a generalized approach for now and have started to filter out food as a category.
