PVC is the most toxic plastic of all. Yet most lunch bags, picnic rugs
and other water-resistant items such as raincoats and umbrellas are all
made from PVC.
Alternatives are hard to find in major chain stores but I
have found for example raincoats and umbrellas made from nylon stocked
in small independent stores. So go out there and support your local
small businesses! PVC-free picnic rugs and lunch bags are the ones that are really hard to find. I hence stock those in my store www.ashnjuls.com.au:
Remember to avoid colour coated metal such as paper clips
and binded notebooks - those colour coating often contains PVC.
