Dear Sales Force Member,
Thank you for your interest in Tupperware® brand products. We are happy to provide interested consumers with information on the materials used in the manufacture of our products. The list you requested is attached.
Tupperware has been providing the highest quality, best-designed and manufactured plastic products to American households for more than fifty years. We are now, as we have always been, absolutely confident that our products are safe for their intended uses.
All Tupperware® products meet or surpass Federal government safety standards for food contact applications. We continue to routinely test our products and the materials used in their manufacture to ensure that we consistently maintain our stringent quality and safety standards.
Materials Used to Manufacture Tupperware® Products: 2001
The vast majority of Tupperware® products for food contact applications in the current line are manufactured from polyethylene and polypropylene. Linear low density polyethylene is used in the manufacture of many seals, including very large ones. High density polyethylene is used in the manufacture of the ice cube tray, the Freeze-N-Save® Container, the Jel-Ring mold and the Ice Tups® Set.
Elastomeric polypropylene seals are used in special applications such as the microwave products, FridgeSmart™, FreezeSmart™ and the ice cube tray. Polypropylene is used in the manufacture of: many food storage and serving containers including: ModularMates®, the One Touch® Canister Set; many bowls, the Impressions line; refrigerator and freezer products with the exception of those made of polyethylene noted above, the children's feeding lines and the Crystal Wave® microwave re-heatable line.
Polycarbonate, manufactured from bisphenol A, is used in the manufacture of Rock 'N Serve™ line, Pizza Keep’ N Heat container, Tuppercare™ baby bottle, the base of the Meals-in-Minutes™ Microsteamer, elegant Serving Line, Table Collection and, from time to time, tumblers.
PET and PES (Polyetherimide and Polyethersulfone) is used in the manufacture of the TupperWave™ line.
Liquid Crystal Copolyester is used in the manufacture of Oven Works™ dual ovenable containers.
Several additional materials: stainless steel, chrome plating, melamine, nylon, acetal and silicone (baby bottle nipple, teething rings, baking forms, baking mat and spatula) are used to manufacture a small number of products.
SEBS and Isoprene Copolymers are used on some products including gaskets on selected seals and knife handles to reduce slippage, or on seals for freezer to room temperature application to increase flexibility.
Styrene is used in the Serenity Collection platters and the lids of the sugar and creamer set.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address your question. Please contact Tupperware Customer Care at 1-800-366-3800 between the hours of 8:30 AM ET to 9:00 PM your local time Monday through Friday if we can be of any additional help.
Sincerely,
Tupperware Customer Care
