bugtussle Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Wygen, do you think Polypropolene means #5?? I looked at the site you order from and saw the "polypropolene." I will definitely order from them the next time. They are more expensive than my #6s I get from Sams, but if they will hold up to the FO, I think they are worth it. Sorry, I just didn't think they made them. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerina Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Bugtussle- I was curious about this because I used to know what the #'s mean, something about the higher the # the harder to recycle. So I looked it up and that seems to be right. Soda Bottles are 1 and easy to recycle, it goes up to 7 and it says it is near impossible-inefficient to recycle. The reason I speak of recycle-ability is because the harder to recycle it the slower the breakdown- the more resistent. So 6 instead of five 'should' be ok in that manner of reasoning...(even though you will still want to take into consideration that someone here in this thread said a 6 still leaked)... but to answer your q -the website I just read did in fact label #5 as Polypropylene. It wouldn't let me right click, but it actually said: Polypropylene (#5) and then went on to describe it's common uses and basic make up. So you guessed right.

blazerina Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Ok, i'm going to retract my assumption that the higher # means more resistant. I kept reading and technically, it refers to USEFULNESS in the recycling world, not exactly resistence to recycling. For instance as I stated a soda bottle is a one, ... pretty tough... but a bread bag is a 4. A soda bottle can be made into carpet and outdoor wear. Where as a bread bag is so light that it takes more energy to transport it to a recycle center- than to start with raw material. The point is to encourage you to buy the lowest # possible for these reasons. The highest #- 7- is already made up of different plastics and therefore has served it's use and can't be broken down for continued use in a cost effective way. So a high # won't NECESSARILLY tell you resistence to something like FO... as I thought, lol. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYJen Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Wygen, do you think Polypropolene means #5?? I looked at the site you order from and saw the "polypropolene."

Sorry, I just didn't think they made them. CaroleI emailed and asked the company before I ordered if the polypro cups had a #5 on them, or what markings were on the bottom. They told me that it had the 5 along with a "pp" under it- I'm going to assume that pp stands for polypropylene but I don't know. The ones my Sam's sell are much cheaper too-ours sells the solo brand and after looking around and asking questions from different suppliers, I was told solo's cups are polystyrene. I'm not sure what that means in terms of durability and scent retention, but I figured the #5 and polypropylene was a much better option. HTH!

cowgirl Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think these cups would be great but how in the world would you label such a small container? What labeling do you use besides a warning label or is that all you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Night Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think these cups would be great but how in the world would you label such a small container? What labeling do you use besides a warning label or is that all you use?Probably a small round label on top of the lid. Or package a few of them in a cello bag and label that. I think it would be cute tied up with a ribbon or raffia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYJen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I think these cups would be great but how in the world would you label such a small container? What labeling do you use besides a warning label or is that all you use?I use the 1.67 inch round labels from Online Labels on the top. For my warning label I use a 1x2 5/8 label cut in half on the inside of the lid. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gngrbrdmtn Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hmmm, I've spent the past month pouring more than a dozen different scents into the 1-oz. and 2-oz. cups with no problems at all, and they are a "Dart" brand with a number 2 on the larger and no number at all on the smaller. But I'm using a para-soy container blend, poured fairly cool over chunks. I wonder if that's the difference? They seem to be working just fine so far, with no degradation and no loss of scent. I haven't poured any vanilla, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
