Frequently Asked Questions about the Heat Resistance & Safety of Plastic Food Containers

Features of Marathon Enterprise’s Food Containers

1. Can they be used for microwave heating? Will they release toxins?

All Marathon materials are SGS certified and meet food-grade heat resistance standards. Within the specified temperature range (including microwave use), no harmful substances are released.

2. Are plastic containers different when used for freezing or refrigeration?

Marathon has developed special plastic containers designed for low-temperature environments. They maintain freshness and remain impact-resistant even under freezing conditions.

3. Will plastic containers release plasticizers into food?

The materials selected by Marathon do not contain plasticizers. Not all plastics contain plasticizers, and our plastics have passed SGS testing for plasticizers, ensuring safety and compliance.

4. Can I purchase containers if I only need a small quantity?

You are welcome to call and inquire about available sizes. If we have stock, small quantities can be purchased. For larger orders, we recommend mold production as it is more cost-effective.

5. Are plastic containers less environmentally friendly?

Plastic containers are recyclable, while paper containers are not always recyclable. To resist water and oil, paper containers often require a plastic coating, which prevents recycling.
