Recent research highlights concerning levels of microplastic contamination in beverages sold in glass bottles, with findings indicating up to 100 microplastic particles per liter. This level is alarmingly higher—five to 50 times—compared to those found in plastic or metal containers. The study attributes this unexpected finding primarily to the paint used on bottle caps. As a solution, scientists recommend that manufacturers implement cleaning procedures for new capsules prior to capping to mitigate the contamination risk in glass beverages.
A new study indicates that beverages sold in glass bottles may contain significantly more microplastic particles than those in plastic bottles or metal cans.
Researchers found an average of 100 microplastic particles per litre in glass bottles of various drinks, contradicting earlier expectations.
