Title: acrylic as a substitute for plastics
Post by: Ioanna on January 03, 2012, 07:28:30 am

i've been seeing silicone replacing teflon for baking ware, and now i'm seeing acrylic for cups and straws.  they feel almost like glass.  i can't find (haven't looked too hard) for safety/production method... anyone know??  thanks!
