Glass Food Storage Set

Glass containers and glass lids with a food-grade silicone seal. Mostly glass and independently lab-tested, but the silicone seal is a synthetic, so a low-plastic 1 rather than fully plastic-free.

1 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$$$

Borosilicate glass containers with glass lids, so no plastic touches food. Stackable and oven-safe, independently lab-tested for toxic substances.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Little plastic
Glass food storage where the containers are borosilicate glass and the lids are glass with a BPA-free silicone seal, so no petroleum plastic touches food. The set is independently lab-tested for toxic substances.
Microplastic shedding and leaching Sheds some
The borosilicate glass containers and lids are inert and shed nothing. The lid gasket is food-grade silicone, a synthetic that is not a petroleum plastic and sheds far less than plastic, though it can release trace particles or siloxanes under heat or with age.
End of life: persistence and recovery Persists somewhat
Recyclable glass; the silicone seal is durable but not curbside recyclable. Only partly recoverable; some of it persists.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Low concern
No PFAS, PTFE, BPA, or other leaching plastics in food or heat contact.
Transparency and verification Fully disclosed
Independently lab-tested; results published

Strengths

  • Borosilicate glass containers with glass lids

  • Independently lab-tested, including for PFAS
  • Oven, microwave, and dishwasher friendly

Trade-offs

  • The lid seal is food-grade silicone, a synthetic polymer: not a petroleum plastic, but fossil-fuel made and able to release trace siloxanes or particles under heat or with age
  • Premium price for a glass set
